Although it may have dimmed, the fire of faith that St. Patrick lit still burns and, in fulfillment of the prophesy, will never go out.

Here is the subversive message of the Gospel that has been placed in our hearts and impels us to proclaim in word and witness. What stood out for me as I re-read the story was the invitation to the Irish Church—and indeed the whole Church—to place greater faith in the ultimate victory of the risen Christ and to do as St. May the Easter flame of faith in Christ’s love that burns in the hearts of all who believe never be extinguished. In the same spirit, Pope Francis urges that “on the lips of the catechist, the first proclamation must ring out over and over: ‘Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you.’” The subversive theme of Easter contained in this legendary story is the same subversive power of Christ’s victory over sin, death, deceit, and false gods that the Church still proclaims today. Paul, who proclaims the power of Christ’s love from which nothing can separate us, is an inspiring example of an evangelist who places his trust in the truth of that message (see Rom. On hearing that his friend Lazarus was sick, Jesus announced that “this sickness will not end in death, but it is for God’s glory so that through it the Son of God may be glorified” (John 11:4). Muirchú’s aim in composing this story was to show how the triumph of faith in Christ, recorded in Scripture, was being fulfilled historically, locally, and particularly in Ireland through the apostle Patrick. It is also consistent with the historical Patrick’s own writings, where his proclamation of Christ’s lordship over every other sovereignty and power was at the heart of his mission of evangelization to the Irish. Simply, it is about the subversive power of Christianity, represented by the figure of St. In defiance of the king, Patrick lit the Easter fire that, we are told, was seen by all, who “viewed it with great wonder.” When they saw this fire, the wise men of the king warned him that this act of defiance was more than an act of disobedience: This is a brief summary of the story written by Muirchú that still holds an important place in the spiritual imagination of Irish Christians today.
