The suicide of her son just over a year ago, by all accounts, left her reeling in deep distress. She was very damaged by physical and emotional abuse in her childhood, and she was once incarcerated in a Catholic institution for children. Sinead was a very intelligent and highly talented woman.īut she was also a very vulnerable woman who suffered more deeply than we will probably ever realise. They told me that Sinead was always very good to them with gifts of food and money.Īt least on one Christmas Day, I know Sinead went on to the streets in Dublin with a bag full of £50 notes and gave them away to homeless people and addicts. In the past, I did a certain amount of work with homeless people and drug addicts in Dublin. I felt that an ordination without preparation and formation was not a great idea. A journalist travelled with them.Īt the time, Sinead telephoned me and asked me to publicly support the Lourdes ordination. Instead, she approached the Tridentine Bishop Michael Cox, and he and she went to Lourdes, where he ordained her in a hotel. I told Sinead that I would have no problem considering her for ordination but that I would require her to undergo a period of preparation and formation. Sinead did ask me to ordain her very soon after I ordained Frances Meigh – the hermit nun who is also a very accomplished artist and iconographer. In many ways, she was a prophet, and her life was prophetic. I never had a problem in thinking that God might have given a vocation to priesthood to Sinead. We did have a telephone relationship, especially around the time she was ordained. There is a very common public belief out there that says I ordained Sinead as a priest. It comes after decades of dazzling talent and decades of deep mental and spiritual suffering. Writer(s): Rolf KasparekLyrics powered by death of Sinead O’connor is very, very sad.
