Jack
Br Jack Driscoll, CFC (1933-2010)
On 21 Sept 2010 Br Jack Driscoll, CFC, our beautiful friend, colleague and mentor in this Light of Torah ministry, passed into eternal life following a battle with cancer. Jack was passionate about Light of Torah and the possibilities it held for the renewal of the Church. Through our faith in the abundant love of our Lord God, our belief in the resurrection and the communion of saints, we know that Jack’s involvement with this work has changed, not ended. We pray for him, just as we know he prays for us.
"I will praise the Lord all my life, sing hymns to my God while I exist" (Psalm 146:2).
As a practical way to honour Jack's memory, in October 2011 Light of Torah recommenced the podcasting project which began with Jack in 2010, which he loved doing and for which his gifts were perfect! While no one can replace Jack's unique teaching style, we dedicate this project to his memory and offer it to the ongoing mission to bring Torah to Catholic audiences. [Note: Seventeen of Jack's podcasts are still available in the Weekly Reflections: 2009/10 Archive.]
