Patrick Mooney was born in County Laois in Ireland. He was ordained a priest at the Catholic University of America, and he subsequently devoted his vocation not only to ministering in a parish hospital and school but also to the art of writing and photography. Convinced that the Church needed a new form of stained glass windows to awaken its members to the glory and magnificence of ordinary life, he devoted much of his energy to the development of audiovisual meditation programmes on topics such as family life, child-parent relationships, poverty, the environment, the liturgical feasts of Christmas and Easter, the third world, sacramental theology, and Celtic spirituality. Most of these programmes are now available on Mooney’s website, SpiritualSpring.com. He is the author of Praise to the Lord of the Morning, published by Notre Dame University Press, and his other written work has been published by Paulist Press, Alpha Corporation, and Twenty-Third Publications. Mooney is presently involved in retreat work based on the theology of Celtic spirituality in his native Ireland.
