The Transfiguration of Ireland

Here’s my homily from SundayMass. I propose to you that what Saint Patrick did for the people of Irelandwas a transfiguration – he let them see God the way He really is, full of gloryand mystery. We call Saint Patrick an Apostle because he brought the Faith toIreland. From Mount Tabor to Fifth Avenue, we extol that Faith in the one, trueGod, and thank God for a man like Patrick.
