St Jarlath Tuam Diocese, Circa 550 6Th June
St Jarlath Tuam diocese, circa 550 6th June The Gathering of God's People The Greeting The Lord be with you. And also with you. Sentence You are my strength, Lord, I will love you; Under the shadow of your wings protect me The Prayers of Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Introduction Saint Jarlath (Iarlaithe mac Loga), was a priest and scholar from Connacht remembered as the founder of the monastic School of Tuam and patron saint of the Diocese of Tuam. His monastic school is said to have attracted scholars from all parts of Ireland including such students as St. Brendan of Ardfert and Saint Colman of Cloyne. The site of his foundation with the ruins of a 13th century parish church dedicated to St. Jarlath is close to Saint Mary’s cathedral. The cathedral itself houses a fine 12th century Hiberno-Romanesque sanctuary arch, said to be one of the finest in Europe. Also in St. Mary’s is the High Cross of Tuam, also 12th century, and dedicated to Turlough O’Connor, High King of Ireland c.1120-1156. Opening Prayer Let us pray to God the Father, God the Son, and to God the Holy Spirit whose infinite greatness enfolds the whole world, in persons three and one, in essence simple and triune, suspending the earth above the waters, hanging the upper air with stars, that he may be favourable to sinners who righteously justifies all who err, who ever-living lives. May God be blessed for ages. Amen. Moucan, Welsh, eighth century. Penitence O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who trust in him. -

BOOK TWO CHAPTER 1 THE LIFE OF SAINT PATRICK APOSTLE OF IRELAND This information is mostly from the above book, supplemented by information from various other sources, and it is intended to describe the life of Saint Patrick in his travels throughout Ireland. He is credited with the conversion of Ireland from Paganism to Christianity. The book was: Published by R. WASHBOURNE, 18 Paternoster Row, London Printed April 16, 1870 by J. B. Lauwers, Vic-Gen. Sancta Trinitas Unas Deus These are individual statements and lines of prose which describe these activities which are related to Saint Patrick, and reflect the character and thinking of the Roman Catholic clergy, from whom they have originated. While the book from which they are taken more than likely does not exist any longer except in my own library, I have attempted to copy specific phrases and meanings from it, and only add clarity and continuity to their meanings. It is, by far, foe most complete book that I have found on this subject, and 1 have read many. On Page 5, foe author identifies "the sequestered Island of Eire, the seat of art, science and civilization; and thus predisposing the natives for receiving the truth of the Gospel" Since the illustrious Ollav Fola, (or Eochaidh Ollamh Fodhla, High King of Ireland - 1317 B. C. to 1277 B. C.) who was nearly contemporary with Lycurgus, instituted wholesale laws for limiting the powers of the monarch (of Ireland) and restraining the licentiousness of the subject, the people at large had become more civilized, courteous and polite. -
