***The St. Patrick's Day Edition***
What follows are the only known translated remnants from a heretofore unknown epistle of St Paul.It's The Letter of Saint Paul to the Leprechauns...
"Paul, an apostle - not from men nor through men, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead - and all the brethren who are with me, To the Church of the wee little folk in Knocknasheega: Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
"I have not come for the golden riches you hoard, nor your magically delicious Lucky Charms. I already possess all the riches a man could desire, for in my poverty out of love for Christ, I have indeed become rich. I come to bear you up in the traditions I have taught you, short though you might be. I come to exhort you to stand tall in the faith, and rise up to the fullness of the truth that you have heard and thus believe....
"...Your fervor for charity must dwarf that of the druids and non-believers....
"...Be not afraid to profess the joy of the faith you have within you. My beloved wee brethren, be steadfast, immovable, the full measure of a true believer, always abounding in the work that Christ has set before you. We live upon this earth but a short time, so I implore you to make the most of what little time you have been allotted...
"...I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have come to the end of the rainbow. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness..."
Unfortunately, the church at Knocknasheega disappeared from history...it was short on members.
And Happy Feast Day of St Patrick!
