It’s Not About Beer
For most people, the first thing that comes to mind when they hear the name of St. Patrick or St. Patrick’s Day is beer and/or partying. St. Patrick’s Day is about more than beer.
St. Patrick was an incredible man… a TrueMan. Most of what he did in life, including joining the priesthood, being ordained a bishop and working to free the Irish from Druidism, came after several hard years of slavery in then pagan Ireland.

So today, as you celebrate, remember that just because other guys are being foolish and drinking themselves stupid, you don’t have to. Don’t fall into that trap. Embracing St. Patrick and what he did is wonderful, for he’s a great model of TrueManhood.
Man up!
Fr Benedict Groeschel, a TrueMan
To call Fr Benedict a TrueMan is an understatement. What a witness, a leader, a servant! A great example to everyone. I came across this Grassroots Films video – even thought it’s a few weeks dated, I wanted to post it.
For those who don’t know, Fr Benedict Groeschel is one of the most well-known Catholic priests of our times. He started the C.F.R.s, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and many other organizations and projects. (For a good article on Fr Benedict, click here.)
