The above video is four minutes, but I promise you it is worth watching. Credit to “Therefore Choose Life.”
Rest in Peace, Msgr. Philip J. Reilly. This unsung hero of the pro-life movement has gone to his eternal reward. Founder of “Helper of God’s Precious Infants,” Msgr. Reilly saved tens of thousands of babies in his compassionate method of sidewalk counseling for decades in Brooklyn. His evangelization spread throughout the world. In NYC, he taught the Sisters of Life and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (and me) all of his ways, mostly interior. This is thepriest who taught me how to sidewalk counsel in NYC. In seminary, we brought him to Denver.
As a young priest, he was very handsome, but as his FB homepage explains just after his death: “He spent his entire body for God’s people. Just like Jesus. Towards the end of his life they had to remove his entire nose due to cancer.” (See picture at top right.)
