May out God, and all the saints bless this young man and his beautiful family who so tragically have lost their son. I am a 70-year-old man in Australia, and I’ve just watched this video and the tears streaming down my face as I feel so much for Donald and for his family who are left behind. Whoever was responsible for sharing this video and message to all of us. I thank you very much. God bless

[@christie2352]

What an inspiration to die with courage. It takes real Faith to die as a hero for Christ. RIP young man. You are saintly.

[@alejandraviesca6605]

Beautiful testimony! I am in tears!

[@user55lovesfr95]

Young men and women of Ireland, bring our Catholic tradition back to Ireland. Revive the beautiful Catholic faith in Ireland. I am a Catholic, native of my country but Christianity is persecuted here. So, pray for us being persecuted.

[@kathleencook3060]

I will pray for Ireland and its Traditions which were so important to my ancestors and shared with my family. Though they migrated, through necessity, I have always taken comfort in knowing my Spiritual home is Ireland. "Keep the Faith" we were told. That's the best advice I have ever been given. Thank you to Walsh family for giving us this beautiful Soul! They must be so proud, despite their loss! God Bless.

[@tramarherrera6685]

Rest in God Donal. You touched many lives. May Ireland return to God.🙏

[@msbee-xj8ni]

I am going through a very difficult time. Losing 2 pregnancies in miscarriage and another one was a failed IVF even though I tested positive. I have stopped praying and going to Mass because of this. This appeared on my feed and I am crying my eyes out. Thank you Donal. You have helped me in this very difficult time. Your death was not in vain. Please pray for us.

[@elhpasu]

God is holding you on the palm of His hands.

[@kathleencook3060]

So sorry for your loss. I will pray for you!. God's plan is not always our Plan. I sometimes do not speak when "praying". I sometimes just sit in silence.

[@msbee-xj8ni]

@@kathleencook3060 Thank you for prayers my faith is a bit shaken at the moment it is very hard to pray. I lost my dad recently too. Please pray for me sister. 🙏

[@msbee-xj8ni]

[@juliehenderson1990]

Gave me chills down my spine. How precious life is and what an amazing young man Donal was His spirit lives on in others

[@2Uahoj]

Thanks for posting. Was only surprised at the words of the mom, when Donal slipped away. She said the moment was "awful and she would not wish that on anyone." Well, ok, granted, on one level we are going to miss our loved ones for a short while. But come on, if we are people of faith we have to believe that this is God's plan for us and we'll be united together again soon. And as for not wishing this on anyone, well it Will be visited on Everyone, so that's a non-starter. Death is a reality for every single person, and it is bittersweet. Christians must emphasize the sweet over the bitter.

[@genadelapena5861]

LOVE YOU Donal, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE & ETERNAL HAPPINESS in that PARADISE UP THERE - HEAVEN...What an INSPIRATION ! My Heartfelt CONDOLENCES to his Family... ❤❤❤

[@PaulRose-hl6pi]

God bless Ireland

[@josephcottam1382]

I just saw this video and I am near tears. I just sent a message to my grandson who is graduating from high school this weekend. I thank God everyday for the lives of my family and friends and even my enemies. I want to share something with the parents of Donal. When I saw his picture I saw the face of the infant Jesus of Prague. No that your son is with Jesus there is no more pain for him and you will see him again. May all the youth who see this video gain strength from him. ✝️💟♾️
