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.”
