That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.

I pray to God to give me perseverance and to deign that I be a faithful witness to Him to the end of my life for my God.

He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.

I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many.
