Irish Saints' Feast
Days
Sept.
4th
Feast
of St. Mac Nissi (ca. 5th century - ca. 6th century AD)
It is claimed that Saint
Patrick baptized him and taught him the psalms. He chose the district
of Connor for his hermitage, and later became bishop of his clan.
Sept.
9th
Feast
of St. Ciaran of Clonmacnoise(516
- Sep 9, 546 AD)
Born in Connacht, County
Roscommon, Ciarán was the son of a chariotmaker. He was a student
of Finian's at Clonard and in time became a teacher, himself. He also
studied under Saint Enda of Aran, who advised him to build a church
and monastery in the middle of Ireland. In 545 he founded the Monastery
of Clonmacnoise. He died about one year later of the yellow plague
in his early thirties. He is buried in the remains of his little church
at Clonmacnoise.
Sept.
12th
Feast
of St. Ailbe (ca. 5th century - ca. 528 AD)
Sometimes claimed as one
of the pre-Patrician saints, but the annals note his death in 528.
A tradition held that he went to Rome and was ordained bishop by the
Pope. He founded the monastery of Emly, which became very important
in Munster.
Sept.
23rd
Feast
of St. Adomnán of Iona (ca. 627 - 704 AD)
A cousin of Saint Columba.
In 679, Adomnán became the ninth abbot of Iona after Columba. In 697
Adomnán promulgated the Cáin Adomnáin, meaning literally the "Canons"
or "Law of Adomnán". The Cáin Adomnáin is a set of laws designed,
among other things, to guarantee the safety and immunity of various
types of non-combatant in warfare. For this reason it is also known
as the "Law of Innocents". It is the earliest initiative of this kind
recorded from Europe, and as such is often regarded, however dubiously,
as a proto-type for the Geneva Convention and the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights.
Sept.
25th
Feast
of St. Finbarr (ca. 550 - ca. 620 AD)
Bishop of Cork in the
6th century and patron saint for the city and diocese of Cork. Widely
believed to have lived at an island hermitage at Gougane Barra, before
founding a monastic settlement and centre of learning at Corcach Mór.
This settlement was to eventually grow to become the city of Cork.
Finbarr died at Cloyne in Cork and was buried in Gill Abbey - a site
occupied by the present day Church of Ireland Saint Finbarre's Cathedral.
St. Patrick's Breastplate
Christ shield me this day:
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every person who thinks
of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
