    “A priest's brother once went to him for some money....”

    Share Share Post
    A priest's brother once went to him for some money as all his cattle had died. The priest refused the money and said:-
    Sí an bhochtanacht is giorra do Dia
    The brother replied:-
    "An bhochtanacht ní mholaim agus ní cháinim í
    Sí an bhoctanacht a chlog orm agus a chráidh mo chroidhe
    dé mhaith de aon sagart na bratair (?)
    An boctanacht a mholadh liom mar ní h-ail liom í.
    P. Desmond (native of 'Old Parish' Co Waterford)

    "A Mháire Ní Dhomhnallaidhe, guidhim se thusa gan Dia Páiste treasna ort na béarfaidhe le h-eagla go mbéarfaidhe nár cosamhail é le Críostaidhe.
    Ceann muice, pus caorach, gob lacan, chun a bheith ag réabadh an aoiligh, le h-eagla go crocaire a bheith ag crochadh na ndaoine."
