Saint Patrick, Ireland And The Church Today

In this presentation the final vision of St. Patrick before he died is described.  Is the state of the Church in Ireland today a fulfillment of this prophecy?  Will a resurgence of Faith in Ireland because of St. Patrick’s prayer be a harbinger of great things for the Church at large?  Finally, his prayer, “The Breastplate of St. Patrick”, is given.  It is said that whoever in the spirit of penance recites this prayer before death will attain a heavenly reward.
