Remembering Avery Dulles

On the first anniversary of his death:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress, persecution or famine, nakedness or peril or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerers through him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When I was in college, I had a part-time job as a receptionist in the residence where Fr. Dulles lived. I only knew that he was this incredibly important theologian because other people told me so. Father Dulles was always very nice to me even though I was just a little receptionist. He was a nice man and I’m sorry he’s gone.

Thank you for the remembrance, Fr. Imbelli. I attended the last McGinley lecture and appreciated your help in facilitating it.
