“I give thanks to him who strengthened me in all  things, so that I should not be hindered in my setting out and also in  my work which I was taught by Christ my Lord; but more, from that state  of affairs I felt, within me, no little courage, and vindicated my  faith before God and man.”
(St. Patrick of Ireland, ‘Confessions’) [Will of God; Divine Providence]
