What does it mean to really listen to the Holy Spirit? To take up your cross and faithfully follow? What does it take to pass through the eye of the needle? Sinéad O’Connor knew.

In this space, she took refuge, and in return she found her voice, a one of a kind sound capable of soaring or cracking, of great power and holy sensitivity.
