Bible Introduction
What would St. Patrick's Day be if we did not thank the One who blesses us, has blessed and continues giving His blessings on us? Since we have received His unmerited favor (we do not deserve His blessings), we practice courtesy and hospitality on others. It is also important to seek ways to give honor and respect to those that are worthy and to thank our Lord for His graciousness in allowing these individuals in our lives.
