St. Patrick's Biography Sheds New Light on His Journey from Disbelief to Belief | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

To learn more about the real life Saint Patrick, we turn to professor at Pepperdine University and the author of "St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography," Philip Freeman. In his biography, Freeman sheds light on Saint Patrick's faith journey, one which went from disbelief to belief. Freeman adds that Saint Patrick's relationship with God was "a quite intimate one. It was a struggle, in many ways, Patrick struggled, he talks about his difficulties with depression, and all of the difficulties that he faced in his missionary work in Ireland, but he never lost faith. He was an Orthodox Catholic, he was a great and faithful believer." Freeman also reflects on Saint Patrick's childhood letters, how his Catholic faith guided him, and his lasting legacy.
