Tuat

Definition and stakes

Margaret Ellen Henry-Ruffin,  The North Star (1904)

“ With a strong effort Father Tuathal shook off the horror and the repulsion and recalled his shrinking soul to a sense of his obligations. “I am an unworthy priest,” he humbly thought, “and I must not shrink from this poor soul striving to cast off its burden of sin in this dark hour. But, O my beloved! it is harder than death to touch the hand that slew thee, to bless the life that swept thee from my sight. Forgive me, my merciful Saviour, and help me to remember in this hour that I am a priest of the Christ who prayed with dying breath for them that slew Him. ”
