You are the channel of my grateful thanksgiving to God for having gr4anted, through you the precise gift of faith which is clearer to us than life. O most blessed father and patron of that country! Do not, I beseech You despise my weakness. Remember that the cries of little children were the mysterious indication that You did receive to go. Listen, then, to my must humble supplications; I unite them to the praises and blessings which will ever follow Your name and Your memory through the Irish Church. I unite them to the prayers of the multitude of our ancestors, who now enjoy eternal bliss, and owe their salvation, under God, to Your zeal and charity. They will eternally share Your glory, because they listened to Your word and followed Your example. Ah since I am descended from saints I will not go against them, may I begin from the moment so to love God with all my heart and serve Him with all my strength. For this end, I most humbly beg Your blessing. O great St. Patrick! And Your particular intercession, for obtaining whatever grace You see to be most necessary for me. Amen. Made in Italy!
