St. Patrick was kidnapped as a child and sold as a slave to another nation. The horror of the kidnapping and enslavement of people has happened throughout the world down through the centuries and it’s still happening today.
It’s inconceivable for us to think that God could bring good out of the kidnapping and enslavement of a child, but He did.
God had a plan for St. Patrick’s life that would lead to the conversion of a nation and many others worldwide.
We pray for those suffering today – whether through human trafficking, slavery, or other forms of injustice – that they may find hope in St. Patrick’s story. May they know the love of God, that He is with them in the pain and the suffering, and that He has a plan for their life and for each of our lives. Amen!
