Excerpt from The Messenger of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Vol. 6: January, 1891It is common enough among these early Irish Saints - and yet it is strange, when one comes to think of it - that they have left their names bound up with all the different periods of their country's history. This is because of the work done so well by them during their busy lives, and of the work done after they were dead and gone by the devotion of the common people to them through the succeeding centuries. Thus, in the case of Molaga, we have a few antique bits of building in the rude, prim itive style of the early Celtic Christians, dating from himself or his disciples and telling a story of zeal for the glory of God's house and the salvation of souls. Then we have the fine Abbey built much later in his honor by friars who came over from Italy hundreds of years after his death. And, in their turn, these Splendid arches now stand broken and Open to the day with only the ivy to clothe them round about, and the birds and winds to make music where the priests once sang to the glory of God and the Saint God gave them - Molaga.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
