<blockquote>Let us go to the mountain in the land of Erin where a youth enslaved by pagans is in prayer through the day and into the night. So fervent is the love of God within him that the fire of his heart is a light midst snow and ice. He lived on the mountain, alone with God, tending his master’s herds. And on that mountain, I called my son Patrick, that out of the condition of servitude there might be produced the miracle fire of freedom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was late fourth century <small>A</small>.<small>D</small>. and the clans of the Irish—the reincarnated [[Twelve tribes of Israel|tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh]]—were ruled by a host of kings. They served not the L<small>ORD</small> God, nor had they the salvation of his Son. Therefore I, the Ancient of Days, called my son, freeborn, unto slavery that I might deliver him to freedom and to the mission of implanting the [[violet flame]] in the hearts of my true sons and daughters that they might one day carry it to the New World in the name of [[Saint Germain]].</blockquote>

<blockquote>To him I gave the vision of the people of Erin whose seed would one day ignite the fires of freedom on every shore and in every nation. Your own prophet [[Mark L. Prophet|Mark]] derived his fervor from that lineage of the Ancient of Days, which goes back to the emerald isle. And the Irish eyes of [[Thomas Moore]], poet and prince of my heart, yet smile through the sternness of [[El Morya]] and his twinkle of mirth always needed on earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Finally restored to his kinsfolk after six years of humbling himself before me on the mountain, tending sheep as he would soon feed my sheep, Patrick heard the voices of the souls of my children crying out from the land of Erin for deliverance: “We beseech thee, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more.” Indeed they remembered him when he had walked among them as a prophet in Israel, rebuking their waywardness in the name of the L<small>ORD</small>. Now they awaited the message of their salvation through Messiah’s anointed apostle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Patrick prepared for his mission under the lineage of the [[ruby ray]] and with the saints of the inner Church. And that mission, my beloved, was to subdue the seed of Serpent in Ireland and to raise up the tribes of Israel, the remnant of Joseph’s seed who would be Christ-bearers to the nations.<ref>Joseph, youngest and most favored son of Jacob, had two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, whom Jacob blessed as his own.

<blockquote>So perilous was the mission of the shamrock saint of the fifth ray that he wrote in his “Confession”: “Daily I expect either a violent death or to be robbed and reduced to slavery or the occurrence of some such calamity. I have cast myself into the hands of Almighty God, for He rules everything; as the Prophet sayeth, ‘Cast thy care upon the L<small>ORD</small>, and He Himself will sustain thee.’”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Well might you emulate the courage and the humility of my son Patrick when he boldly challenged Prince Corotick, that serpent who dared plunder Patrick’s domain, massacring a great number of neophytes, as it is written, who were yet in their white garments after [[baptism]]; and others he carried away and sold to infidels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Patrick circulated a letter in his own hand pronouncing the judgment of Corotick and his accomplices and declaring them separate from him as the established Bishop of Ireland, and from Jesus Christ. He forbade the faithful “to eat with them, or to receive their alms, till they should have satisfied God by the tears of sincere penance, and restored the servants of Jesus Christ to their liberty.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Such is the true Work and [[Word]] of the saints of the ruby ray who, with all due seriousness, receive the sign of their coming in the taking up of serpents. Thousands upon thousands of the descendants of Jacob’s favorite son were baptized and confirmed by the Lord Jesus through my son Patrick. Like the [[Saint Paul|apostle Paul]], he bound the power of Serpent’s seed that had invaded the land of Erin; and like him, he healed their sick, he restored sight—both inner and outer—to their blind, and he raised [[Abraham|Abram]]’s seed—dead in body and in spirit—to new life through the indwelling Christ by the Word of Christ Jesus, his beloved.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Now the ascended master Saint Patrick stands with me on the summit of Mount Aigli where, at the close of his earthly sojourn, he retreated forty days and forty nights, fasting in body and in spirit that he might be filled with the light of the Ancient of Days. There on that occasion fifteen hundred years ago, I summoned all the saints of Erin—the light of Aaron’s priesthood and the lightbearers of the Christic seed of Joseph—past, present, and future, to pay homage to him who was father to them all.... My beloved, many of you were among the souls of the saints who came to Patrick in his final hours on the mountain. You saluted him in the glory of God that was upon him, and to him you were the promise that his Word and Work would be carried to golden shores unto a [[golden age]] of Christ peace and enlightenment.<ref>{{OSS}}, pp. 294–97.</ref></blockquote>
