Monday, March 17 Memorial of Patrick, bishop, missionary Irish welcomes add up In medieval Ireland under Brehon Law, all citizens were obliged to provide hospitality to strangers, including food, drink, and a place to sleep. Payment often came in the form of stories, songs, or poems. Although Brehon Law was not that long lived, its impact on Irish culture, particularly in the area of warm welcomes, continues to be felt to this day: Irish tourism is a $5 billion industry, and the country, known as the land of “a thousand welcomes,” is consistently voted a favorite holiday destination by travelers worldwide. Give and gifts will be given to you. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today’s readings: Deuteronomy 9:4b-10; Luke 6:36-38 (230). “Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap.” preparetheword
