№ 18. Holy Abbess Ceara [Kiera] of Kilkeary

5th January Antiphon – Tone Eight THAT which is fashioned according to the image of God, * was preserved in thee, O Abbess Ceara, * for having taken up thy cross, thou didst follow Christ, * and by thine example didst teach that the flesh is known to be passing, * but that the soul must be cared for as immortal. * Wherefore, O Mother, hast thou attained an honour equal to the Angels. Refrain – Tone Four STRENGTHENED by zeal for Christ and all the virtues, * and having mortified the passions by fasting and vigils, * thou wast manifest as a receptacle of divine grace, O venerable Mother Ceara; * and as a beacon thou shinest forth with splendour upon the world. * Wherefore, entreat Christ God that He grant us remission of transgressions. A stanza from the Léabhar Bréac copy of the Life of Saint Œngus: Gláo Shímeon an sáoi chuíg Críost an fhóirm is gláine, grían núa shéaladach mhín, ba í Kíara, iníon Duíbrea. Translation: The call of Symeon the sage to Christ of purest form, a new transitory gentle sun was Ceara, the daughter of Duibrea.
