| Summary | "Epistola ad Coroticum" by Saint Patrick is a letter written during the early medieval period, which spans approximately from the 5th to the 8th century. This work serves as both a theological treatise and moral exhortation, addressing the injustices and persecution faced by Christians within Irish territories. It captures Saint Patrick's zeal and dedication to spreading and safeguarding the Christian faith among the people he had converted. In this epistle, Saint Patrick implores Coroticus, a local chieftain, to cease his oppressive actions against the Christian converts by highlighting the moral depravity of his actions, which include the slaughter of Christians and the selling of captives. He expresses deep sorrow for the fate of those who have suffered and emphasizes the importance of repentance and conversion for both the aggressors and the victims. The text is richly imbued with biblical references and a passionate call for justice, showcasing Patrick's commitment to his faith and his followers, as well as his hope for their ultimate redemption and salvation in the eyes of God.
