May God in His wisdom
And infinite love,
Look down on you always
From Heaven above.
May He send you good fortune
Contentment and peace.
And may all your blessings
Forever increase.
Lilies, signifying purity of heart, grace the shaft of this lovely cross. The Ballinrobe cross is found in County May. Ballinrobe is near Lough Mask, a lake, which s wide enough to produce choppy waves in rough weather. Nearby is the ruins of Inishmanina Abbey, a 13th century Augustinian house, originally founded by St. Connan in the 6th century. Also nearby is Cong Abbey which was founded in about 1120 by Turlough OConnor, High King of Ireland, on the site of a 6th century church associated with St. Feichin.
