Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15
Brian Gallagher uses the words integrity, humility, grace in people to talk about their compassion, their being with other people. They are found in the many examples which Brian gives, through chapters on Listening, Humility, Generosity, Hospitality. The writing is semi-autobiographical, as Brian uses examples mainly from his own experience. In a paraphrase of Pope Francis’ description of humility, he concludes that compassion is that virtue which, when you have it, you don’t think you do.
Brian Gallagher is a Catholic priest in the community of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heat, with degrees in science, theology and spiritual direction, including a doctoral thesis that researched discernment of spirits. His ministry for fifty years has been in spirituality and spiritual direction, predominately at the Heart of Life Centre in Melbourne; and now in retreat ministry in Shoreham. Brian is the author of two earlier books Pray As You Are and Taking God to Heart as well as the first edition of Communal Wisdom, co-authored by Sue Richardson pbvm, Set Me Free and The Eyes of God
