THE LIFE OF SAINT SENAN (Part 2)
The Abbot Cassidus had a vision, in which he received a Divine mandate, to send his novice Senan to a holy man named Natalus, or Nattal, who was then Abbot of Kilmanagh, or Kil-na-managh, in Ossory; that, under his rule, our saint might be more fully prepared and instructed, in monastic discipline. Senan felt grieved at being obliged to leave his first master, and that place he had chosen as a retreat. Recollecting, however, that obedience is better than sacrifice, and that he must in all things obey the Divine will, he set out for his new habitation, where he was honourably received by Nattal, among his religious band. Under this new director, Senan was distinguished for his obedience, his devout exercises, and his many exalted virtues. According to the instructions of Natalis, while Senan was one day tending a herd, belonging to his master, he endeavoured to prevent the calves from approaching their dams, that thus milk might be preserved, for use of the monastic brethren. But, after many vain efforts, to effect a separation between those cows and calves, which were impatient of restraint, the saint placed his staff in an upright position between them. Afterwards, he returned to finish his prayers, which had been interrupted. The animals found themselves unable to meet, or to pass a boundary thus marked out; so that, on future occasions, when our saint wished to devote himself to prayer or reading, he adopted the same expedient, and, with like success. Having often reflected on those words of the Saviour, " He that is greatest among you shall be your servant."

Senan desired always to obtain, and to be employed in, the most humble offices. Hence, he assumed the care of grinding corn, at a mill, belonging to the monastery. Some robbers, in this neighbourhood, noticing that Senan was often alone, and engaged during night, tending the mill, formed a design of entering it, to take away corn, belonging to the monks. Before putting their intentions into execution, they approached the door, and looking through an opening, they discovered two young men — one was engaged at reading, while the other tended the mill. The robbers doubted if they should enter, as there were two persons within; but, one of the band gave it as his opinion, that they must wait for some time, as those two young men could not be members of the same family, or employed at the same duties. One was supposed to be the miller, and the other, a person who had brought corn to be ground, which, when ready, he would take away. It was proposed, by the robbers, to await the presumed egress of this latter person, whom they intended to deprive of the com, and whatever else he might possess. Having accomplished these objects, they were afterwards to attack that man, who remained alone in the mill, and thus take all they might be able there to procure. This counsel was generally approved, by the others; but, whilst expecting the egress of one or other of those young men, they waited in vain, and for a long time. They observed, likewise, that neither of them slept until morning, when Senan came forth, with an intention of returning to the monastery. On opening the mill-door, those robbers rushed forward and entered it. They asked, at the same time, where and who was that other young man, who assisted in working the mill, during night. Senan replied, " What if it were he, of whom it is said, he sleeps not, nor shall he sleep, who watches over Israel ?" They insisted on finding out, where his companion should be found, when the saint replied: "He is near to all who invoke him."

At these words, the robbers were touched with sorrow, and bursting into tears, they promised to repent and to amend their lives. At the same time, they asked to be received among the brethren. Full of joy, our saint promised that their request should be attended to, and he led them to St. Natalis. Having received the monastic habit, they continued with him, in a holy course of living, to the end of their mortal pilgrimage. At another time, St. Senan asked the monastic cook for some candles, which should be necessary for him, while prosecuting his labours at the mill. The cook answered, in a short time, he expected to have some ready, but he had none, at that present moment. Senan went to the mill, at the same instant, and he did not return for a week, to repeat his demand, on the cook. Wondering how Senan had obtained light, to prosecute his labours, during this lengthened period, the cook resolved to see, if he had been engaged at work, during all this time, or how he had procured light. At nightfall, going to the mill, and on looking through a crevice in the door, he saw a candle placed in a candlestick, while Senan was engaged reading; and, the millstones continued grinding without cessation, no person being required to supply the grain, nor to furnish any human assistance. Astonished at such a wonderful spectacle, the cook returned to his cell; and, on a second and third visit, he witnessed a repetition of what had at first occurred: moreover, he observed, that it was the same candle, which he had given many days before, and which yet remained miraculously unconsumed. The cook related this whole affair to St. Natalis, who extolled the virtues of our saint. At the same time, he predicted, that God would afterwards work many and great miracles through him.

After relating an occurrence, which will be found in the Acts of St. Natalis, ‘° and referring to a miracle wrought at a place called Killmor-Aradhthire" — the Metrical Life of our Saint is defective; but, it is to be presumed, that this deficiency, in a great measure, is supplied by the Second Life. After stating the circumstances of the miracle alluded to, it proceeds with a narrative of events, in the following order. We are told, that this wonder and other miracles, wrought by St. Senan, spread the fame of his sanctity, far and wide, through all the adjoining regions. Numbers of people resorted to him — some, that they might be relieved from pains and infirmity — others, that they might be instructed by him, in the practice of a spiritual life — many, to ask the benefit of his prayers — some, with donations and offerings made to him for religious purposes, and others again, to put themselves under his direction, as their spiritual adviser and father. Seeing and hearing miracles wrought by our saint, through the grace of God, and learning his fame for sanctity, diffused among the people, the holy Abbot Natalis at once came to the conclusion, that his disciple was more worthy to rule over others, than to continue longer the subject of any religious superior. Hereupon, he commanded Senan’s retirement to another place, where, with more advantage, he might betake himself to the instruction of others. He was recommended to undertake the direction of a monastic institute, where he might train religious men, in the virtues of their state. With great reluctance, on his part, and after remonstrance with the abbot; at length, our saint humbly acquiesced in his superior’s views, and asked advice, as to the place he should select, for this new establishment. Natalis answered, that such direction should be asked, and expected from him, by whom he had been called to a high office. Wherefore, obeying the orders of his abbot, Senan took leave of him, and the rest of his brethren. Having received his superior’s blessing, our saint directed his course towards eastern Leinster. Being admonished by an angel, he came to an island, lying in the River Slaney, called Inis-conirthe, in the territory of Hy-Kinsellagh. It is probable, that this place, so written, in St. Senan’s Second Life, was identical with the present Enniscorthy,’ a market town situated on the River Slaney, in the barony of Scarawalshe, in Wexford County. This town was formerly called Inis-Corthadh, and even to this day, the inhabitants of Kilkenny County call it Inis-Cortha. While Senan remained in this place, it is said, he contracted a friendship and familiarity with Blessed Maidoc, Archbishop of Ferns. Dr. Lanigan however maintains, that St. Maidoc was not born at this time; but, he allows, that at a subsequent period, when young, he might have formed an acquaintance with St. Senan.

After some time, our saint had a desire of visiting Rome, on a pilgrimage to the Apostolic shrines. It was said, having satisfied his devotions in that city, he returned through Gaul, and visited the city of Tours,’ where he remained for some time. Before he set out for Ireland, he went to Britain, and lived some time with St. David,° Archbishop of Menevia, according to the Second Life. But, it is an opinion, that St. Senan’s visit to David must have occurred, before the latter became Bishop over Menevia; for, his accession to that see was not prior to the year 540, in all probability, and at this time, Senan was established at Iniscatthy. While, however, Dr. Lanigan allows, that a friendship had subsisted between David and Senan; yet, he thinks it probable, that St. Senan never left Ireland, as nothing is found in his Metrical Life, regarding a visit to St. David in Britain. Besides, no mention is made of Senan, in the Life of St. David, published by Colgan and others; although, certain Irish saints are spoken of, as having formed a personal acquaintance and friendship, with the Bishop of Menevia. However, it has been supposed, that an intimacy and correspondence might have existed between Saints David and Senan, even without their having seen each other. It must be observed, besides positive evidence we possess from tradition and writing, that Senan visited St. David, and remained with him; the probability is, that this presumed intimacy, between both saints, was the result of a personal familiarity, established between them. The fact, that no mention has been made of Senan, in St. David’s Life, should not prevent us from supposing it possible, that our saint visited the holy Bishop of Menevia; for, it would appear, from our saint’s Second Life, that little worthy of especial notice occurred, at that time, more than Senan’s interview and departure. We must not too hastily conclude, from the circumstance of nothing having been mentioned, in St. Senan’s Metrical Life, regarding his having, left Ireland, and his visit to St. David, that neither of these events took place. On the contrary, when giving an account of our saint’s death, his Metrical Life remarks, that Senan had been allied in friendship with St. David, during the lifetime of this latter holy man; and, it alludes to a previous account, confirmatory of such statement. It would appear, that both saims had mutually expressed a wish, to be removed from this life, and at the same time, one being unwilling to survive the other; while, we are told, that their wishes were granted, in a miraculous manner. From this account alone, it is quite evident, a friendship and conversation between both saints must have been previously related, in that part of the Metrical Life, which is now left defective; and, this omission most probably occurred, through some negligence of a transcriber. “Hence, all indications left us warrant the supposition, that a personal interview took place between both saints. As in the Life of St. David, we do not read that he ever visited Ireland, another inference to be drawn is, that Senan must have been with him in Wales, or perhaps in some more distant country, In St. Senan’s Second Life, we are told, that on taking leave of St. David, this latter holy man presented him with the staff used by himself, as a token of his friendship. This gift was brought to Ireland, by our saint. Having received the kiss of peace from St. David, Senan sailed over to his own country, with favouring winds. He landed on Ardmenedh Island, which lay off that part of the Munster coast, which is called Iliatham and, here he remained, during forty days, to recover from the fatigues of his voyage. An angel was sent to warn him, that this was not the place, designed by the Almighty, for his rest and sepulture, but another which was more distant. It was intimated to him, likewise, that before he could occupy that spot, ultimately designed for him by Providence, he should first build many cells and churches to God’s greater glory, and to promote the increase of monastic discipline in Ireland.

Having left some disciples, in the place already mentioned, St. Senan went to an island, called Inniscarra, where he erected a church. While dwelling in this place, a ship touched at the island, having fifty monks, who were foreigners, carried on board. These religious were Romans by birth,’ or persons subject to Roman laws. They desired to perfect themselves in Scriptural knowledge, or to lead Houses of more strict observance; for these objects, at that time, Ireland furnished ample opportunities. They had passed this grant to Philip de Barry; and, it was confirmed to William, son and heir of this latter, in the eighth year of King John’s reign. The three cantreds, already named, are included in the baronies of Barrymore, Kinatalloon, and Imokiily, in the county of Cork, and of Coshmore and Coshbride, in the county of Waterford. These three cantreds were to the east of the city of Cork. From Irish history, we know, likewise, that the present village of Castle-Lyons, or Caislean Ui Liathain, and the island, called Oilean Mor Arda Neimhidh, now the Great Island, near Cork, were in Ui Liathain. This gives us a good idea of its position, and even of its extent. See Dr. O’ Donovan’s " Leabhar na g-Ceart, or Book of Rights," previously learned the fame of certain holy fathers, in our island, under whom they might find themselves exercised in rigorous discipline, and in practices of most exalted sanctity. These religious strangers, we are told, were divided into five bands, each one of which comprised ten persons. Of these bands, one was destined for the magistracy of St. Finnian; another for that of St. Brendan; a third for St. Barrens; a fourth for St. Kieran; while, the fifth, was a band of persons, who intended to place themselves under the training of St. Senan. During their voyage, it would appear, they had agreed among themselves, that each band should assume in turn the direction of their vessel. During that time, the ship was placed under the protection of its working crew’s special patron. It happened one day, while St. Senan’s band had the direction, a violent head-wind arose, against which their bark laboured with such difficulty, that the destruction of those on board seemed imminent. The pilot warned them, that they must have recourse to prayer. Then, a certain holy bishop, named Mola, who was found among the passengers, arose from a table, at which he had been seated, as it was about the time for dining. Having invoked St. Senan’s intercession, he made a sign of the cross, towards the opposing winds. Immediately, this great tempest ceased, and the winds, which had been adverse, changed their direction. Favourable breezes bore their vessel safely to Cork. Here, ten disciples remained, who placed themselves under the direction of St. Barrens: the remaining forty sailed to Iniscarra, where St. Senan hospitably received them, and retained with himself, the bishops, John and Mota, with eight other companions. St. Senan then sent those disciples, who had chosen Finnian, Brendan, and Kieran, as their masters, to the respective homes assigned them, and to the directors of their choice. Afterwards, Lugadius, son to Kilbeth, who was King of Rathlendia territory, in which this monastery of Iniscara had been located, sent messengers to St. Senan, demanding tribute from the abbot, as a mark of subjection to his dynastic power. The saint refused, saying he would not recognise any secular master, to whom he owed fealty or tribute. Then, this king ordered one of his best horses to be brought to the monastery, where it was to be fed on corn, belonging to the monks. But, this horse, having been conducted thither, and washed in an adjoining river, was immediately suffocated in the water; and, after plunging about for some time, he disappeared beneath its surface. When the dynast heard what had occurred, being moved with indignation, he went to St. Senan; and, after having loaded him with injuries, the chief threatened death. But, the servant of God, in turn, declared to Lugadius, that if he would not cease to persecute those, who had devoted themselves to a religious life, this prince should experience Divine displeasure, in being deprived of heavenly joys, and the possession of his temporal honours, so that after himself, none of his posterity should enjoy his principality. As members of his family, this dynast had two youths, named Aldus and Lugadius, who were much loved by him; and, these young persons grieving for the treatment exhibited towards our saint, by their chieftain, endeavoured to persuade the latter, that he should abandon such course of conduct, lest he might draw down the vengeance of heaven on his family. They advised him to confess his faults, to repair the injuries he had so wantonly inflicted, and to endeavour, by such means, to effect a reconciliation with our saint. Their representations had due weight, on the chieftain’s mind, for he changed that course of conduct. Lugadius and Aidus hastened to the abbot, whom they approached with great reverence and humility, as well to show their profound respect, as to- obtain his pardon, for what already had occurred. They asked his blessing, and promised they would become his faithful and devoted clients. Senan gave them his benediction, predicting, at the same time, that the posterity of Lugadius should possess the principality of Rathlindia, and that the posterity of Aidus and Luogarius should succeed, and enjoy the territories of Ivechia. Leaving eight of his disciples in this place, among whom were St. Fechin,” son to the Dynast of Muschragia, and St. Chillin, St. Senan went thence to another island, which was called Inis-luinge, where he built a church. While dwelling at this place, the daughters of Brendan, Dynast of Y-figinte, came to him, and having consecrated themselves to God, by religious vows, they lived under the direction of St. Senan. These holy virgins became the first fruits of Eoganacht Gabhra region, and were consecrated to God, through the ministry of his favoured servant. After our saint had veiled them, in this place,- and had instructed them in the principles of a spiritual life, and in monastic discipline; he set out for a certain island, which was called Inismore, and which was situated in a region, called Irros-deschert. But, contrary to his intention, through the dispositions of Divine Providence, he was driven by contrary winds, to another island, called Inis-tuaischert, and here he began to build a church. Leaving some of his disciples there, when it had been completed, Senan resumed his journey. He came to Inismore, where he founded a monastery, and dwelt there for some time, with his disciples. Having left some of these latter, in this place, among whom are specially named, St. Liberius, with three bishops, named Dalan, Sedonius, and Ere, our saint betook himself to another island, called Iniscaorach where, having built an oratory,si he left there, in like manner, some of his disciples. After this, our saint went to another island named Inis-cunla, situated in Y-Sedna district. On this, he also constructed a cell which he designed for the habitation of his disciples, Finan and the Bishop Finnian. It will be observed, in the foregoing and succeeding accounts, as found in St. Senan’s Acts, that his love of retirement, in selecting sites for all his religious establishments, led him to choose those positions, where he could be most perfectly insulated, or removed from all commerce with men of the world.

Has anyone had the paul mitchell keratriplex treatment done on their hair?

Question by daniell123: Has anyone had the paul mitchell keratriplex treatment done on their hair?
If so how did it work, how did your hair look, feel etc….

Best answer:

Answer by arz_rocks
Yes, it works amazing!

I’ve been trying to let my hair grow out, and I’ve been getting split ends everywhere. It’d be impossible to trim them all because some of them start under the back of my neck, in that bottom layer of my hair.

What the treatment is: They mix an ampule of the keratriplex treatment, which is step 1 with step 2, which is sort of like a deep conditioner. They keep your head under heat for about 15 minutes and then they rinse it.

I’d say that afterwards, about 3% of my split ends were noticeable. It made my hair softer, shinier, and really helped me keep my hair healthy while growing it out.

I recommend it if you’ve dyed/chemically processed your hair or if you have too many split ends like me, where trimming them all isn’t an option.

Hope this helped! I’m going tomorrow for another treatment!
