From NPR: “O’Donohue was a native Irish speaker, a former priest, Hegel scholar, and author of books that provided sustenance for many souls hungering for connection in a shallow, narcissistic world — a world full of what called the ‘religion of rush.’ He died suddenly on Jan. 4, [while on vacation] near Avignon, France. He was 52.” Click for audio files from NPR.
From Carl McColman: “He was not only one of the most articulate voices of living Celtic Christianity and Celtic wisdom, but he also had a clear grasp of the beauty of Christian mysticism as well. He was a trained philosopher with a prodigious intellect. He was the only person I’ve ever met who could effortlessly and lyrically weave together allusions to Martin Heidegger, Meister Eckhart, and the Tuatha Dé Danann in a single sentence.
“Rest in peace, John O’Donohue. Walk gladly in the light of Tir na n’Og.”
