Saint Patrick scattering the seeds of Salvation landed on the valleys goodly glen of the Irish People whom welcomed the Truth of the Gospel in Christ Jesus. The heavens rejoiced over the precious Souls of the Irish People coming to the Saving Grace of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Mark 4:26, And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into good ground.

Matthew 13:38, The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.

Centuries later and presently the same battle rages for the precious Souls of earth; living in the not-to-distant future. A young beautiful damsel named Lily; (A hereditary name commonly known to Lily’s family.) Proverbs 6:34, For jealousy is the rage of man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Lily established in the warmth of a caring Christian home with the thoughtful tutelage of Freedom and Liberty in the knowledge of Christ Jesus in opposition to the oppression of the “Old Serpent.” 2nd Corinthians 3:17, Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

The faithful such as Lily and her One True Love Caleb live in a world growing hostile to the redeemable statutes of the Holy Doctrine of the Bible.  Job 19:25, I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.

Saint Patrick in decades past championed the Gospel message of Salvation in Jesus Christ; And this righteous cause is still ongoing for the treasured Souls still perishing form the lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Amen! John 10:9, I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
