St. Patrick's Breastplate - This prayer is attributed to St. Patrick and his diciples. It is 
written with some Celtic pagan elements, but is definitely a Christian prayer asking 
God for protection through daily life. 

A Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus - Patrick writes this letter to excommunicate the 
soldiers of Coroticus' army who pillaged villages in Ireland and forced many 
Christian converts into slavery. 

Confession - A short autobiography by St. Patrick who tells of being abducted into 
slavery and taken to Ireland, the growth of his faith, his ministry as a bishop in 
ordaining many priests and baptising thousands of people, and a trial where he had to 
defend himself against his accusers.
