Archbishop Clifford's Address - Feb 2010 The Cry of the Earth Calls for a Local Environmental Audit
Lismullin Farming Seminar, Monday 1st February 2010 I wish to thank you for inviting me to address your Seminar this afternoon here in Lismullin Conference Centre. By happy coincidence we meet on the Feast of St. Brigid, famously described as a “woman of the land”. Legend has it that when she approached a farmer for land for her monastery, he told her all he could give her was what her veil could cover. She placed her veil in the middle of the field and it miraculously grew to cover the whole field! In Tyreconnell, the head of the house, threw a cake of bread against the door on St. Brigid’s Feast Day and proclaimed the following prayer, “Through the prayers of St. Brigid I banish all hunger and famine from this house for a year and a day to the land of the Turks”. What he meant was the ends of the earth, of which he thought Turkey was the last outpost! Download a PDF version of the address here |
