Most
Reverend Liam S. MacDaid DD
Bishop
of Clogher.
The ordination
ceremony has been well documented and reported by the
media, particularly the Northern Standard. There were
many memorable moments throughout the ceremony but none
more so than when the new Bishop addressed the following
words to the people of the diocese.
“My
dear priests and people of Clogher there are two symbols
which I wish to recall from to-days ceremony- the laying
on of Hands(symbol of the guiding Spirit of God) and
of the book of the Gospels (the Word of God). Let us
embrace these gifts and make our way together to the
well of salvation.
There we
are assured we will find living water which will nourish
the spirit as well as the body. It will be water which
we can safely offer our children; water which will protect
our universe as well as enriching the quality of our
lives and leading us to everlasting life. In the words
of to-day’s Gospel; anyone who wants to be great
among you must be your servant, and anyone who wants
to be first among you must be your slave, just as the
Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for many.”
Prayer card available
at masses this weekend.
