Five years since this beautiful man died. Gerry Reynolds.

At his funeral, s/o said ‘Gerry always had both of his feet firmly planted in mid-air’. So true. He knew the nightmare of conflict and dreamt of something more.

I offered this poem at his funeral.

Ar dheis Dé atá sé.

Gerry Reynolds was a #Redemptorist who immersed himself in the realities & complexities that surrounded him in his adopted Belfast, & he started to dream, & worked & networked to make that dream a reality. He lived his #vocation with conviction. Try #Redsliving @RedComsIreland
