This episode will cover St. Patrick's incredible prophecies about the Emerald Isle and the five mysterious favors that he obtained from God during his forty days of fasting in the mountains. In his time of solitude, he fought off devils seeking to tempt him in such a brilliant way that they fled in terror, which definitely reminded me of St. Michael.
