Yes, our Savior has other ways to reach us!

I am named after my uncle, who is a Catholic priest of the order of St. Francis, OFM. He has traveled the world, learning many languages along the way, but I never once heard him speak of Jesus.

Yet I have a nephew who loves Jesus and is preparing for a mission trip to Galway, Ireland (the suicide capital of Western Europe for young men) to bring good news of God's love. I gave him those great quotes from Patrick which you posted. Thanks JJ.
