St Patrick & Thin Places – Christine Valters Paintner 

“Some of the stories of St. Patrick tell us that he first learned to pray outside, in his early years as a slave in Ireland and how his presence in the woods and the mountains summoned forth a continual stream of prayers in response to that sacred space. The Celtic tradition holds closely the idea of thin places, where heaven and earth touch.”
