"One thing that all saints have in common is that they are happy, they possess a joy. When one is happy you want to share what you have, you want others to know what you know. One consequence of that attitude is that many Irish saints travelled from their homeland taking with them the message of the Gospel. They did so precisely because they were motivated by that desire to introduce others to the God who had brought such meaning and joy to their own lives."
