Early Christian Ireland (Classic Reprint) by Eleanor Hull Pdf
Excerpt from Early Christian Ireland In much the same wav, amid the scholastic discus sions to which the personality and work Of St. Patrick have given rise, the only Patrick Of whose identity there can be no doubt has been lost sight Of. The Patrick who wrote those invaluable Confessions which are still in our hands may not be as striking a personality to the popular mind, or come with such professed cre dentials, as the numerous Shadowy St. Patricks who have been substituted for him. Yet he is at least a real man; and a man who, amid deep discouragements and opposition from both foes and friends, accomplished, according to his own showing, a great work. We have allowed this real St. Patrick to speak in his own words with as little addition as possible from later and more doubtful authorities.

Sacred Time in Early Christian Ireland by Patricia M. Rumsey Pdf
Francisca Rumsey uses two case studies from early Christian Ireland, the Nauigatio sancti Brendani abbatis and the Rules of the Céli Dé to demonstrate two different ways of understanding sacred time. One sees time as part of a good and holy creation, and therefore intrinsically good in itself; the other sees time as part of a fallen world needing redemption, and therefore in need of sanctification. The Céli Dé are often presented as part of a reform movement in early Irish monasticism. This question of monastic 'reform' is explored in detail to show that the received position regarding the Céli Dé is inaccurate. In fact, in the specific issue of liturgical prayer, their approach was innovative to the point of idiosyncrasy.
