May 6 Colman Mac Ui Cluasigh d. 7th c.

Thommy and John

good morning, i love you

Colman, a seventh century professor....
try the book, How the Irish Saved Civilization....
our monks and monestaries preserved and proletyzed our faith and religion...
monks qua professors [and a professor is not a teacher.... know the difference, in college look for professors....]

Coleman's prayer in verse [i.e., a lorica] seeking protection from the yellow plague is still extant [see Kathleen Hoagland's 1000 years of irish poetry.

Colman rescued his students from the plague that wiped out about 1/3 of ireland's population, by taking them to an island the emarld isle.... the chanted the prayer enroute to their safety.

part of my blogging is my praying too.
i'm not much at making up prayers - or even of coversing with God
i know lots of prayers
i read prayers - and scripture, which is much made up of prayers
i listen - meditate, even contemplate
but i'm not much one for writing or coming up with oral [even silent] prayers.
tho i do try every now and then.
try it yourself....
write a prayer
try your hand at a lorica....

pray....

i love you
dad
