“One of the most moving and glorious historical examples is Ireland’s loyalty to the Mass in the time of persecution and the so-called ‘Hidden Saints of the Mass,’”
— Bishop Athanasius Schneider
Continuing, Schneider related an excerpt from Fr. Augustine’s book in which the scene of a Hill Mass is described, where large numbers of peasants could be seen kneeling in the mud outside a dilapidated building, itself packed with worshipers, as a clandestine Mass was being celebrated inside. Such scenes were the cause of great scandal to persecutors at the time, who “saw now that the harassed Catholics flocked to the mud cabins as they had flocked to the churches, and bent as low before the rough altar as they had done before the work of art.
“It was not, therefore, anything merely human, but something really divine that caught their eyes and gripped their souls. It was the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharistic Sacrifice that drew the Irish people, and caused them to pour out all the wealth of their hearts in the miserable hovels which He deigned to visit even for a fleeting hour or less.”
— Bishop Athanasius Schneider quoting Fr. Augustine
