Click on homily to listen. Brilliant, inspiring words. They'd make you sit up and listen.
In the homily at the funeral Mass of Michael Paul Gallagher Bruce Bradley SJ, spoke of the man he first met in 1962. He said he was someone who was gifted in “intuiting and imagining the horizons of others, inviting them in turn to share his”.
He said the renowned author “did not take himself too seriously but he was aware and quietly proud of some of his own gifts and accomplishments”, adding with a smile, “Perhaps with just some of the small harmless vanity you occasionally meet with in an only child”.
He said Michael Paul was impressive in how he faced his impending death with “clear-eyed courage and a lack of self-absorption”.
