ST PATRICK PRACTICED STEP 9 FROM THE 12 STEPS OF AA.
STEP 9 FROM THE BOOK ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS. “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.” Patrick won favor with the Irish by returning to his former master and paying the full ransom price of a slave as “compensation” for his escape. This generous gesture astounded the Irish. By making amends with someone he had harmed, Patrick had a platform to share his faith in our God who forgives sinners. On every St Patrick’s Day let’s all look for the chance to make amends with someone we have harmed. Jesus tells us to do the same in Matthew 5:23-24.
