TWELVE Days of Christmas
From 1558 until 1829, Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote the carol, the twelve Days of Christmas, as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments
Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.
The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit - Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
The ten lords a-leaping were the Ten Commandments.
The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

ANCESTORS: Mulvihilll's of Gurtomasillihy
My great-grandmother was Ellen Mulvihill (1853-1939) of Gurtomasillihy, Moyvane. She was baptized June 4, 1853 in Moyvane, daughter of John Mulvihill (1812-?) and Bridget Kenelley (1824-?).
Ellen married Cornelius Shine of Gortdromasillihy July 30, 1875 in Moyvane. They had 10 children, 4 of whom emigrated to the USA.
John Mulvihill (1812-?) and Bridget Kennelley had 4 children that I could find, Ellen (1853-1939), Cornelius (1855-?), Honora ((1841- ?) and Patrick (1841-?)
John (1812-?) was the son of John Mulvihill and Mary O'Connor. I am interested in comparing notes with anyone connected to these folks or to the Moyvane.

Sunday November 25th What is heaven?
Heaven is the endless moment of love. Nothing more separates us from God, whom our soul loves and has sought our whole life long. Together with all the angels and saints we will be able to rejoice forever in and with God.
If you have ever observed a couple look at each other lovingly or seen a baby nursing who looks for their mother’s eyes as though it wanted to store up every smile forever, then you have some inkling of heaven. To be able to see God face to face-that is like one, single, never-ending moment of love. [from YouCat, Youth Catechism of Catholic Church §158]

THOUGHT: In the mountains the rushing streams make their own river bed along which they flow; but in the plains men have to work hard to make canals, in order that the water may flow along them. It is just the same with those who live upon the heights with God. The Holy Spirit streams through them freely, while those who give little time to prayer and communion with God have to find their way with much labour and effort.

HITLER: Oct. 15th 1924, Adolf Hitler, leader of the German anti-Semites and defeated general of the Bavarian Beer Revolution, will not be permitted to enter Austria. If he crosses the border he will be interned and held for deportation. Hitler, was imprisoned in Bavaria, is to be deported to Austria, his former country. The Austrian government say that Hitler’s absence from Austria for twelve years means he has lost his citizenship.
From the speech, Citizenship in a Republic, 1910
By Theodore Roosevelt
The very last thing that an intelligent and self-respecting member of a democratic community should do is to reward any public man because that public man says he will get the private citizen something to which this private citizen is not entitled, or will gratify some emotion or animosity which this private citizen ought not to possess.
Let me illustrate this by one anecdote from my own experience. A number of years ago I was engaged in cattle-ranching on the great plains of the western United States. There were no fences. The cattle wandered free, the ownership of each being determined by the brand; the calves were branded with the brand of the cows they followed. If on the round-up an animal was passed by, the following year it would appear as an unbranded yearling, and was then called a maverick. By the custom of the country these mavericks were branded with the brand of the man on whose range they were found. One day I was riding the range with a newly hired cowboy, and we came upon a maverick. We roped and threw it; then we built a little fire, took out a cinch-ring, heated it at the fire; and the cowboy started to put on the brand. I said to him, “It is So-and-so’s brand,” naming the man on whose range we happened to be. He answered: “That’s all right, boss; I know my business.” In another moment I said to him: “Hold on, you are putting on my brand!” To which he answered: “That’s all right; I always put on the boss’s brand.” I answered: “Oh, very well. Now you go straight back to the ranch and get what is owing to you; I don’t need you any longer.” He jumped up and said: “Why, what’s the matter? I was putting on your brand.” And I answered: “Yes, my friend, and if you will steal for me you will steal from me.”
Now, the same principle which applies in private life applies also in public life. If a public man tries to get your vote by saying that he will do something wrong in your interest, you can be absolutely certain that if ever it becomes worth his while he will do something wrong against your interest.

HISTORY: BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY 1913-21
BUROSTAIREMILEATA1913-21
No. W.S. 1,272 STATEMENT OF JAMES COLLINS, T.D.
Convent Terrace, Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick.
“I was born in the parish of Abbeyfeale on the 31st
October, 1900, and was one of a family of three boys and
three girls. My parents, who were farmers, sent me to
the local national school until I was fourteen years of
age, after which I attended a private school run by a man
named Mr. Danaher. While attending the private school,
I became an apprentice to a chemist in the town of
Abbeyfeale whose name was Richard B. Woulfe. After
completing my apprenticeship, I was retained in his
employment for some years until I was forced to go on the
run during the Black and Tan terror.
Mr. Woulfe's wife was Miss Cathie Colbert, sister
of Con Colbert (executed after Easter Week 1916) and
James Colbert, and cousin of Michael Colbert who later
became Brigade Vice 0/C, West Limerick Brigade. The
Woulfe's were great supporters of the Irish independence
movement and their shop and house, from the earliest days
of the movement, became a meeting place for men like Con
Colbert, Captain Ned Daly and others who later figured
prominently in the fight for freedom.
A Company of the Irish Volunteers was formed in
Abbeyfeale in May, 1914. I did not become a member at
the time. The strength of the Company was about three
hundred. A Dr. Hartnett was the chief. organiser, and
an ex British soldier, named James Wall, was one of the
drill instructors. They did not hold together for long
and ceased to exist early in the year 1915, after John
Redmond's speech in the House of Commons in which he
offered the semi-trained Volunteers of Ireland to fight
for the freedom of small nationalities.
Some time later in the year 1915, Ernest Blythe
visited Abbeyfeale and reorganised the Company. I was
one of nine members who joined the Company at its inception.
I was only fifteen years of age at the time. A man named
Thomas Fitzgerald of the Railway Bar, Abbeyfeale, was our
first Company Captain.
A short time previous to Easter Week, 1916, Captain
Ned Daly and Con Colbert visited Woulfe's where I was
employed. They were in uniform.
On Thursday of the Holy Week previous to Easter Week,
the late Batt O'Connor, who later became T.D. for a Dublin constituency,
visited Woulfe's on his way from Dublin to Tralee with dispatches.
He was on a bicycle which he asked me to take past the
R.I.C. barracks for him, in case the R.I.C. became suspicious.
On Easter Sunday morning, the late Pierce
McCann arrived at Woulfe's in a Wolseley motor car on his
way to Tralee. He enquired for the best road to take
there and was advised to take the Castleisland road. I
got into the car and acted as his pilot for part of the
way.

C. S. Lewis, In The Great Divorce, he wrote that in the end there are only two possibilities for each of us. We can either say to God, "Thy Will Be Done", or else God will ultimately say to us, "Thy will be done" ; “There is a canyon of difference between doing your best to glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorify yourself. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity. The quest for power is childish,” Max Lucado.

WORK is good therapy. -----. The Church knows it’s true. We are all called to hold the unemployed and the underemployed in our hearts as we pray for work security.There is a dignity in work. It can get us out of ourselves. It restores hope, gets us dreaming again. It makes us sleep better at night. It gives us a reason to get up. It helps us to pay the bills. It reminds us that we are still alive. It gets us through to another job, a better job. It helps us to pinpoint our strengths. It can even become a prayer. Denise Bossert

THOUGHT: “People don't care how much we know until they know how much we care” Joe Aldrich.
“The habit of being prompt once formed extends to everything — meeting friends, paying debts, going to church, reaching and leaving place of business, keeping promises, retiring at night and rising in the morning, going to the lecture and town-meeting, and, indeed, to every relation and act, however trivial it may seem to observers.” –William Makepeace Thayer, Tact and Grit, 1882;
Benjamin Franklin once said to an employee who was always late, but always ready with an excuse: “I have generally found that the man who is good at an excuse is good for nothing else.”

LOCAL man Gerard Barrett Knockanure writer/director behind the award winning and now critically acclaimed Kerry made feature film ‘Pilgrim Hill’ has been honoured with the prestigious Bingham Ray Award for Best New Irish Talent at the 24th International Galway Film Fleadh recently. The Awards ceremony attended by five hundred people at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway City was presented by Kate O’ Toole the daughter of the award winning actor Peter O’ Toole.
Pilgrim Hill premiered to a sell out audience on the Friday night to critical and audience acclaim and was officially opened by Minister Jimmy Deenihan. National Film Critic Donald Clarke called the film “moving and touching” while Miriam Allen the founder of the Film Fleadh called it “beautiful and my favourite pick of the entire festival”.
Pilgrim Hill was shot on location in Ballylongford, Brosna and Abbeyfeale in the summer of 2012 over 7 days and Barrett is incredibly proud of it’s success so far “It’s amazing to be honest to be here and for the film to pick up one of the top awards just crowns it. I’m just so pleased for everyone involved in the film and everyone who helped out down in Kerry. It’s not just a win for the film but it’s a win for Kerry”.
Barrett 24, who works for the Oscar Winning Brown Bag Films Animation and Disney Animation in Dublin has now a development deal with Magnolia Pictures owned by the billionaire Mark Cuban after winning the award.
After the award winning debut of Pilgrim Hill at the Galway Film Fleadh, it has been invited to the Prestigious Busan International Film Festival in South Korea where the Film will compete for the grand jury prize. The top ten rated film festival in the World, Busan welcomes the worlds new top young filmmakers and the festival is attended by more than 500,000 Asians each year. Pilgrim Hill has also been invited to compete in the Rome International Film Festival in December.

“I injured my back in 2006 when I was 17 years old. I left school early after the Junior Cert and had been working as an apprentice in roofing in Abbeyfeale. One day I finished work but as I was walking away I realised I had left my jacket on the roof. I went back onto the roof and a few moments later fell off it. I have no memory of the accident. The first thing I remember is waking up in the Mater Hospital without any knowledge of what had taken place.”
SAINT Molua is the patron Saint of Ardagh and his feast day is 4th August and the Holy Well near Ardagh Cemetery is dedicated to his memory. Saint Molua was born in Limerick and he was educated at Bangor under Saint Comgall and became known as a monk, builder and hermit. He founded over 100 monasteries in Ireland and was a man of great tenderness to man and beast despite his strict observance of the monastic discipline. In olden times people used to wash their clothes at the well and as a result it dried up for a number of years. The parish priest was credited with getting the water to return and it was described as cool clear and fresh water. It was claimed that a local woman had her sight restored at the blessed well. It was also stated that Saint Patrick put a curse on the well (who ever drank from the well would die) because the people stoned his donkey. Saint Molua reversed the death threat and the people continue to visit the well on his feast day on 4th August, which was observed as a parish holiday in olden times. He died on 4th August 622.

GREAT Workers; Fr Stan Brennan, Irish priest who received accolade from Emperor of Japan, dies
Wednesday, July 11th 2012
Tributes have been paid to an Irish priest who after he passed away this week after a long illness and was one of only eight people in the world to receive a prestigious honour from the Emperor of Japan.
Just last month Roscommon born Fr Stan Brennan received the 6th class Grand Order Award of the Rising Sun Silver and Gold rays for his work in the South African City of Boksburg where he was dedicated to the development of social welfare and the preservation of the environment.
The accolade is awarded by the Japanese Monarch for exceptional service internationally. The Franciscan priest had been working in Boksburg since 1965 where he had established projects on education, drug and alcohol abuse, AIDS, childcare and domestic abuse.
Born Seamus Brennan, Fr Stan was born in the village of Fuerty in County Roscommon in 1929. At an early age, Fr Stan dedicated his life to work on the missions in South Africa and arrived in Boksburg in South Africa in 1957 after studying in Rome.
His first post was as spiritual Director of the Diocesan Seminary in Boksburg and he was later to work in Rieger Park as parish priest of Saint Francis Church. His greatest work will always be synonymous with helping AIDS victims.
As a Franciscan, he personally took up the challenge and drew symbolism with the story of St Francis of Assisi who dismounted his donkey to assist a leper and confront the general fear people have towards the disease with human kindness. In 1992 with Fr Stan's help Sr Francis Care Centre in Boksburg opened its doors after a lengthily legal battle.
The clinic prospered and is now funded by George Bush's PEPFAR programme. St Francis Care Centre administers essential daily ARV treatment to 4,000 people.
As well as his work for AIDS victims, Fr Stan was also involved in education and helped fundraise to build Africa's largest second-level education college and technical skills centre.
Saint Anthony's College has 5,000 enrolled in its classes every day and its technical skills training college a further 600 who are obtaining a 45-day crash course in the fundamental skills required in sectors like welding, plumbing, car mechanics, dress making as well as a host of other practical courses.
In 2004, he started Mercy Haven, a multi-racial drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Boksburg.
During his time in the city, he received more than 50 awards and in 2009, he received the Michael Memorial Award for dedicating his life to the uplifting of the poor.
On June 19, last Fr Brennan was too ill to receive his Grand Order award. His brother Andy travelled from County Wicklow to receive the accolade at the Japanese embassy.
His funeral will take place in Boksburg on July 12 and afterwards his remains will be cremated.
His ashes are to be spread both at St Francis Care Centre and in County Roscommon.
The South African ANC party will perform a full guard of honour at the funeral ceremony.

NUN: July 2012 Vatican declares Irish Nun Venerable.
Venerable Mother M. Angeline Teresa was born Bridget Teresa McCrory on January 21 1893 in Co Tyrone. However, when she was just seven years old the family moved from Ireland to Scotland. At nineteen, she joined the Little Sisters of the Poor and made her novitiate in France. The Congregation was engaged in the care of the destitute aged. After profession she was sent to the US.
In 1927, she and six other members of the Little Sisters of the Poor were granted permission by the Vatican to begin a new community that would be focused on care of the aged. In 1931, the fledgling community affiliated itself to the Order of Carmel and became known as the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm.
When she died on January 21 1984, Mother Angeline Teresa’s congregation had blossomed beyond her expectations. She is remembered for having said, “If you have to fail, let it be on the side of kindness. Be kinder than kindness itself to old people.”

DAIL Questions 14 March 1950
[1793]Mr. Kissane: I am not going to enlarge on it, but in our attempts, and let us be genuine in our attempts, to establish industries here, I think we should turn our attention to the possibilities of developing the bogs more than we have been doing; but, unfortunately, at the present time instead of that, as far as the County Kerry, which I represent, is concerned—
Mr. Kissane: Bord na Móna have been doing a certain amount, but instead of going ahead, they are closing down works. I refer to my own county, where schemes of work had been carried on in bogs near Listowel and Cahirciveen and now Bord na Móna are taking their machinery away.
Mr. Keyes: (1) Nil and (2) 7. Prior to the confirmation in recent months of compulsory purchase orders the Kerry County Council had available only 59 plots for the erection of cottages.
Cost of houses erected in South Kerry area to date ranges from £750 to £1,200 and proposed rents are 6/8 per week, exclusive of rates. Accurate estimates for future cottages are not possible at this stage.
Road Grant Kerry 1948/49 was 210,001 and in 49/50 grant was 119,168.
Éamon Ó Cíosáin: asked the Minister for Local Government whether the road from the Mail road cross to the village of Newtownsandes, County Kerry, which forms part of the bus route from Limerick to Listowel, is to be steam-rolled; and, if so, when the work is likely to commence.
Mr. Keyes: It is for the county council to decide on the road works to be undertaken in each financial year. I understand that the rolling of the road referred to by the Deputy is not included in the works which are proposed for the coming financial year.

NIGHT Houses; Limerick Chronicle, 13 July 1786, We are assured by a gentleman just returned from Philadelphia, that the United States are scrupulously watchful in preventing Night Houses ; and as some Irish emigrants have commenced that dangerous establishment there, an edict has been published, subjecting all housekeepers embarking in that business to the severest penalties that Congress can inflict. For say the American legislators, youth is thereby initiated into all the mysteries of profligate vice ; servants pillage their masters, and the unthinking masters themselves too often bring bankruptcies on their families by frequenting these houses of infernal notoriety!

Grandparents Day” 2015
Last Friday, on the insistence of my two granddaughters, I attended Grandparents Day at the Gael Scoil in Newcastle West. I didn’t know what exactly to expect but when I arrived the hall was full of people like myself. The children were up by the stage and sang beautifully during the opening prayers and readings and there was an exhibition of step dancing, sean nós, set dancing, hip hop, a beautiful rendition from the school choir and a large group of traditional musicians gave a flawless recital. Then the principal, Kathleen Shanahan from Athea, welcomed us all and did a wonderful slide show of what grandparents are and do. I was delighted to find out that I identified with each funny slide telling us how much we spoil our grandchildren such as; giving them treats they would not be allowed at home, allowing them to stay up late and watch TV, filling them with sugar and generally letting them get away with behaviour that would not be tolerated by their parents. There were little snippets like “grandparents have silver in their hair and gold in their hearts” tempered by “grandchildren for a couple of hours make you feel younger; any more than that makes you feel older.” It got me thinking about my own grandparents or rather the lack of them. I really knew only one grandparent, my mother’s mother who was always with us. My grandfather, Dan Harnett died before I was born and my father’s parents lived in Brosna so we only saw them when we visited and didn’t really have a chance to develop a relationship with them. That did not stop my grandmother Hannah, or Nana Barry as we used to call her, spoiling us. She had a shop at what is now known as Barry’s Cross in Two Gneeves and as soon as we arrived she would go into the shop and come back with Goggins lemonade and Polo biscuits, treats we were only used to at Christmas and very special occasions. I can clearly remember trying to make the bottle of lemonade last as long as possible by taking tiny sips near the end and sometimes letting the lemonade flow back into the bottle again and again. My grandfather Garret, died at the relatively young age of 65 when I was a young teenager. At home Nana Harnett looked after us and used to slip us sweets and stuff behind my mother’s back. She used to give me the odd Woodbine when I started smoking, before my parents ever found out. It would be frowned on today but back then smoking was not thought to be dangerous, on the contrary it was recommended to make you relax and relieve stress. All the film stars and sports people of the day smoked. She always had good advice to give and we went to her with all our troubles.
Today I thank God for the gift of our grandchildren and the opportunity to watch them grow and of course to spoil them rotten. During Parents Day a lot was said about love and the importance of hugs and kisses. We should never miss an opportunity to tell someone we love how we feel because there is no feeling better than that of being loved. It is especially important to young people who need their confidence boosting as much as possible. So, after a cup of tea and a selection of delectable cakes, I came away from the school in Newcastle in a very happy mood and looking forward to spending more time with my eight grandchildren in the future.
We get the best of them because when the going gets tough we can always send them home!
