Title The Life of St. Mochuda of Lismore
Credits Produced by Dennis McCarthy
Summary "The Life of St. Mochuda of Lismore" by P. Power is a historical account edited from manuscripts in the Royal Irish Academy, likely written during the late 19th century. The book documents the life and deeds of St. Mochuda, a prominent figure in early Irish Christianity, focusing on his contributions to the development of monasticism and his role in spreading the faith throughout Ireland. The beginning of the text introduces St. Mochuda (also known as Carthach) and his early life in North Kerry, detailing miraculous events surrounding his birth and early influences. It establishes his spiritual journey, which leads him to become a student under Bishop Carthach. The narrative highlights his virtues, early prophecies concerning his future, and his relationships with various kings and famous saints. By illustrating Mochuda's dedication to monastic life, his miraculous acts of healing, and the challenges he faces from detractors, the opening portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of his legacy and the significant establishment of his monastery in Lismore, a vital center of learning and piety in Ancient Ireland.
