Daily I expect to be murdered or betrayed or reduced to slavery if the occasion arises. But I fear nothing, because of the promises of heaven.

The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins.

He [God] watched over me before I knew him, and before I learned sense or even distinguished between good and evil, and he protected me, and consoled me as a father would his son.

So I live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of God.

If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God.

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

Christ before me, Christ behind me,Christ in me.
