De Duodecim Abusionibus Sæculi

Divided into twelve chapters, each detailing a specific abuse or vice found in society, such as the negligence of church leaders, the lack of obedience among the youth, and the arrogance of the poor. Saint Patrick emphasizes the importance of virtues like charity, humility, and obedience, contrasting them with the detrimental effects of pride, disobedience, and materialism. He uses Biblical references to reinforce his points, urging individuals—especially those in positions of authority—to reflect on their conduct and strive for moral excellence, warning that failure in these areas leads not only to personal downfall but also societal degradation. This work serves as both a reflection of its time and a timeless reminder of the importance of ethical behavior in all aspects of life.
