The Strong Name of the Trinity – March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day and the hymn, “I Bind unto Myself Today” LSB #604 is attributed to Patrick. Known as the apostle to the Irish people, he used the shamrock to explain the Trinity to the people. The hymn beautifully explains the Trinity:
“I bind unto myself today
The strong
name of the Trinity
By invocation
of the same,
The Three in
One and One in Three.”
Collect for St. Patrick: Almighty God, who in thy providence didst choose thy servant Patrick to be the apostle of the Irish people, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of thee: Grant us so to walk in that light that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who Livet and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. -from the Book of Divine Worship
