March 17 -- St Patrick's Day

A collect for the day that's in it:


 O ALMIGHTY God, who in thy providence didst choose thy servant Patrick to be an apostle to the people of Ireland, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of thee: grant us, by his intercession, so to walk in that light; that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen

.

I'll be off shortly to play some pipes with the Sheriff's band and serenade assorted revelers. I expect it to be good fun.  Nevertheless, a short prayer that your aged and decrepit servant can hold up his end of the tunes until the final set would not go amiss. 

(As always, clicking on the image above will make it larger -- occasionally too large -- so you can read the inscription.)
