Today: Feast of St.Patrick the illuminator, and Italian National Day

[fpb]

For the sun we see rises each day for us at [his] command, but it will never reign, neither will its splendor last, but all who worship it will come wretchedly to punishment. We, on the other hand, shall not die, who believe in and worship the true sun, Christ, who will never die, no more shall he die who has done Christ's will, but will abide for ever just as Christ abides for ever, who reigns with God the Father Almighty and with the Holy Spirit before the beginning of time and now and for ever and ever. Amen. - Patrick son of Calpurnius, somewhere in Ireland, about 450

Let us be united, let us love one another! For unity and love reveal to the nations the paths of the Lord. We swear that we shall set our native soil free: united in God's name, who can defeat us? - Goffredo Mameli, Genoa, 1847
