Today we remember St. Ciarán the abbot, one of the twelve Irish disciples who studied under St. Finnian 🙏

When Ciarán left for his studies, his family sent their favourite cow with him as a gift for the monastery he would attend.

After she died, the saint kept her hide as a relic for his own priory - Clonmacnoise. It has been attributed with many miracles, with legend saying that anyone who dies while lying on it will be sent straight to heaven.

St. Ciarán, pray for us

Today we remember St. Mac Nissi (or Oengus)

When he was born, Oengus was baptised by St. Patrick at a Holy Fountain that sprang from the earth.

He studied under St. Patrick and his disciples growing up, and was gifted with the power of healing.

One evening, a woman went to hit young Oengus to reprimand him for falling asleep at work, whereupon her arm became powerless and limp. Only after the young saint had prayed over the woman was the strength in her limb restored.

St. Mac Nissi, pray for us
