Saint Patrick Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Saint Patrick:

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.

Saint Patrick

I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many.

Saint Patrick

The Lord discovered to me a sense of my unbelief that, though late, I should remember my transgressions and that I should be converted with my whole heart to the Lord my God.

Saint Patrick

I see that already in this present world I am exalted above measure by the Lord. And I was not worthy nor such a one as that he should grant this to me, since I know most surely that poverty and affliction become me better than delights and riches.

Saint Patrick

I was freeborn according to the flesh; I am born of a father who was a decurion, but I sold my noble rank - I blush not to state it, nor am I sorry - for the profit of others. In short, I am a slave in Christ to a foreign nation for the unspeakable glory of the eternal life which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Saint Patrick

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.

Saint Patrick

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall.

Saint Patrick

Avarice is a deadly sin.

Saint Patrick

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

Saint Patrick

Sufficient for me is that honour which is not seen of men but is felt in the heart, as faithful is He who hath promised and who never lies.

Saint Patrick

I have had the good fortune through my God that I should never abandon his people whom I have acquired in the extremities of the earth.

Saint Patrick

On occasion, I used to give presents to the kings, besides the hire that I gave to to their sons who accompany me; and nevertheless, they seized me with my companions.

Saint Patrick

He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
