Welcome to Politics by Faith.

That's where we take the news of the day.

We bring it to the Bible.

So you can walk away with peace and perspective.

New headlines every single day.

They keep coming like the mail just keeps coming.

But Ecclesiastity says there's nothing new under the sun.

So thanks for being here to get the true story.

Today is St. Patrick's Day.

Here is the President of Ireland celebrating this heroic brother in Christ.

The story of Patrick's life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of migrants,

the invaluable contributions that they have made

and continue to make to the countries they now call home.

I don't think that's the story of Patrick.

Migrants?

I don't think that's it. Sometimes even in the face of great adversity.

Patrick's story speaks not only to the Ireland of the 5th century,

but to the millions still subjected to trafficking, forced labour and displaced

and displacement today.

As we recall the life of Patrick,

we invoke his spirit

and acknowledge our shared responsibilities
