Fr Ross McAuley died at the Drogheda Memorial Hospital on the Curragh in Co Kildare on Sunday. His remains were removed to the Dominican church in Athy on Tuesday evening and burial took place today after requiem Mass in St Dominic's.
At the liturgy on Tuesday Fr Joe O'Brien spoke of the presence of God and how Ross was always conscious of God's presence.
He told the congregation that he and we most likely believed in God and his presence, and that Ross was now experiencing God's presence. He suggested/'warned' the congregation that Ross was 'watching' over all of us.
His words were most uplifting and apt.
This blog has already posted a column on Ross. It was written some days before he died.
