Hugh O’flaherty’s life is a shining example of Human ingenuity and lovingkindness in the presence of tyranny and extermination at the hands of unconscionable behaviour ..he even welcomed Kepplar into the Catholic Faith after the Americans captured and released Rome from the Nazis …an amazing display of mercy and forgiveness ,given German brutality shown to countless individuals deserving of memory and record. Hugh O’Flaherty should be named A Saint .

Absolutely agree. After all Kepler had done he was forgiven Goes to show. No one is beyond forgiveness. 🙏

How come he was never Beatified?

Einfach toll diese person ! Er ist seinem Glauben treu geblieben ! Das was da war, wie engelchen und Teufelchen im Kampf um das Recht ! Ja da kann man sehen , wie stark der Glaube ist ! Meinen Respekt für monsignor 👍👍 ich habe auch immer wieder mit Narren zu tun und wünsche mir ich sei O' flaherty ! 👍🤷‍♀️🤗🥳

My guess is that he would say to you “be the best you”. My impressions: He was true to his faith and knew who he was. He was not intimidated although he had his fearful moments. He was human. His deep love for humanity helped him to overcome any shortfalls of his own humanity. He was deeply thoughtful, trusted God’s guidance in his life, was humble, and relied on his humor too as well as strength of faith to help him through what would tax any human. I, too, wish to be more like him, but be me with whatever gifts and talents i have to offer. Peace to you, my friend. 🙏😉✌️❤️

Ich habe damals ca. 4 Stunden vorher bevor das trace Center angegriffen wurde alles vorher schon im Traum gesehen ! Ging auf arbeit und erzählte das einem Arbeitskollegen weil dieser bemerkt hatte das ich in sorgen aussah ! Ich erzählte ihm das, er war etwas mitleidig ! Dann kam das ca. 15 min. Bei uns auf Arbeit durch ! Ich stand noch an der Maschine dann kam er an mir vorbei, schaute mich an und sagte : kopfschüttelnd Ich sei eine Hexe !! 😅🤔😶 So ist das manchmal 👍

Is this Fr.Paul Murray giving this talk on O’Flaherty?

[@leroyj01]

The way he died, I am sure, Mgr O'Flaherty had been poisoned.

The church was originally none too fond of the trouble maker who is now St Francis.
