Biography
(385-461) He was born in Scotland. He was ordained a missionary bishop to evangelize Ireland. His prayer and penance were amazing, and to them he added a great sense of reality, which enabled him to preach with great simplicity. He used the cloverleaf to explain the Holy Trinity. He evangelized the entire island. Let us ask that evangelizing saints continue to emerge from that nation.
