Fr. James O'Halloran SDB: Great mind of the 21st Century
DUBLIN: 23rd October '04 -- News has come in of an important award to Fr. James O'Halloran of the Irish Province, a Salesian, a novelist who has also several collections of prayer approaches for small Christian community groups, missionary and raconteur, well known also in other parts of the world, including Australia where he has visited several times, and in Latin America where he has worked to build up and Basic Christian Communities. The rest of this word now to Fr. Joe Merriman, courtesy of Rua Link:
"Was it Thomas Edison who said “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”? If that definition is true, why are you and I not reckoned amongst the men of genius of the 20th century? Did we not produce enough perspiration? Or was ours “the wrong kind of sweat”?!!
