When Patrick was sixteen years old the Picts and Scots began to raid the coast, plunder and take hostages. One of the most victorious of these 'Sea kings' was Niall, surnamed, "Of the Nine Hostages" (because he took hostages from nine places). It was during one of Niall's raids that Patrick was taken hostage one day, along with a maid-servant, his sister, Lupita, and some other companions.
God loved Jesus from before the foundation of the world. God sent Jesus to this perishing world. Jesus, the Living Word through the Holy Spirit, to speak God's Words of deliverance and healing. Jesus was manifested in the flesh. The Holy Spirit draws people so they may be saved and have the fullness of God's joy in them.
