Long before the founding of the United States, Maryland was an early experiment in religious toleration .That experiment was imperfect and fragile, but it planted a seed that faith and freedom need not be enemies.

I’m hoping and praying that your encounter with Jesus is also life-changing. In Confirmation the Holy Spirit enlightens the eyes of your soul.

After man born blind was cured, he bore witness to the Lord, just as St. Patrick did after he received the gift of faith. Let us ask the intercession of St. Patrick, that our vision of faith may be luminous, and that we, like him, might bear witness to our faith among family members, friends, and co-workers – and thus help open their eyes to the One “who loves us and gave his life for us.”

How we pray reveals what our relationship with God is like. In fact, prayer is more than a way of enhancing our relationship with God – prayer is our relationship with God, that time when we acknowledge him to be Lord,
those moments when he reveals us to ourselves, those moments when we discern what we must say and what we must do.
