The Cardinal arriving to do penance?

    1913 ?
    Cardinal Logue, who visited Lough Derg in 1913, had this to say: "When I was a young priest I often had occasion to attend their death-beds numbers of people who made the pilgrimage to Lough Derg, and every one of those death-beds was the death-bed of a saint. There was no need to get them to make a general confession or to repair anything in their past lives. One visit to Lough Derg was enough to secure that, and some of those I attended were in the habit of coming there every year. I gave them, of course, the Sacraments of the Church, and especially the greatest of all the Sacraments to strengthen them on their journey to Eternity, but I often thought that if they had died in the deserts of Central Africa they were sure to go to Heaven. "I have no doubt that, whatever else changes in Ireland, Lough Derg will never change It is as unchangeable as the hills by which we are surrounded. So long as the Irish Church exists, it will be a home of penance, and piety, and sanctification, and a source of wonderful graced to those who come here and make the Stations. . . . It would be impossible for a man to come in here with rancour in his mind. If he had any little touch of it, it drops into the Lake, either on his way in, or on his way out of the Island."
