Dear Friend,

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

You've probably noticed that in Chicago, today is as important as the Fourth of July or maybe even Christmas. Streets, people, and even the Chicago river are decked out in green.

Beyond the celebration of Irish heritage, leprechauns, and the good luck of a four-leaf-clover, let's not forget the "reason for the season" so to say. Patrick was a saintly man who's commitment to Jesus Christ fostered in his daily life forgiveness to those who harmed him, heartfelt compassion to those who suffered, and loving kindness to all.
