Show St. Patrick's Unselfishness. Like St. Paul, so, too. St. Patrick seems to have practiced the New Testament Tes-tament injunction: "Freely have you received, freely give." (Matt. 10, 8), for he says: "Though I have baptized so many thousand people, did I ask a halfpenny tdimidium. scriptulae) from any one of them? Mention it and I will give it back to you And when the Lord ordained clerics through my un worthiness (modicita-tem) (modicita-tem) and ministry I gave ordinations freely. If I asked of one of them even the price of my sandal, tell me; charge me with it and I will restore I It to you." |
