    A Story
    The event related in the following story happened one Sunday at Glenbeigh.
    A young priest after celebrating Mass was to be arrested by some policemen. He asked them for five minutes grace which he spent in prayer. After this he said "Now, men,you may do your duty."
    They made an attempt to hand-cuff him but failed. They could not stir as they were stuck to the ground. They remained so until the priest released them.
    I got the above from my father , Mr Michael O Connor.
