_How a huge Stone was raised by the Saint._
And the saint, passing along on a certain day, beheld a multitude of
men gathered together, that they might move from its place a very large
stone; and they had labored a long time, but in vain; for they were
wearied in their strength and fatigued with the unequal attempt, and to
raise the stone they prevailed not. Then the saint approached, even as
a builder of the temple of the living God to be builded in the Lord;
and having prayed and blessed their work, that huge stone, which could
not be stirred by an hundred hands, did he alone remove and raise and
place in its fit place. And the men who stood around marvelled at this
marvellous work, and were converted to believe in the God of Saint
Patrick; and they who hitherto, having stony hearts, worshipped stones,
this stone being raised by the saint, believed in the living Stone, the
precious Stone, the Corner-Stone, the elect Stone, the Stone which is
placed in the foundations of Sion; and this Stone had they long time
rejected; but now becoming themselves living stones, joined together
with the cement of the Christian faith, and following the sacred
doctrine, and being polished and purified in baptism, they grew in the
temple of the Lord.
