On 13 August, Fr. Derek Laverty sscc passed away at the age of 71 in Dublin, Ireland. He made his temporary profession in 1987 and was ordained a priest in 1991. A few days ago, Derek wrote the following:
“The inward peace that comes from trust in God truly passes all understanding. That peace no one can take from you. No person has the power to disturb that inner peace. But you must be careful not to let in the world’s worries and distractions. You must try not to give entrance to fears and despondency. You must refuse to open the door to distractions that disturb your inward peace. Make it a point to allow nothing today to disturb your inner peace, your heart-calm”.
May he rest in the peace of the Sacred Hearts.
