I just read Greer’s article in American magazine. It was so authentic and so on target, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you

AND I JUST READ “DANNY BOY” FROM THE FURROW MAGAZINE, WHILE HERE IN SANTIAGO, CHILE. THE COLUMBAN FATHERS HID THAT ISSUE FROM 2013 IN A BIG PILE. AND A WONDERFUL ESSAY IT IS, ABOUT A MAN SHE MET OUTSIDE A CHURCH IN DUBLIN. A MAN WHO EVIDENTLY, CHANGED HER LIFE. AND, BECAUSE SHE WROTE SO HONESTLY AND BEAUTIFULLY ABOUT IT, PROBABLY IS CHANGING THE LIVES OF MANY MORE.
WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT SHE IS DIRECTING HER LIFE TO THE POOR. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!
