Remembering Brother Dan Healy    1945 – 2024

We thank Denis Healy of Carrigtwohill for the following Tribute to his late brother, Brother Dan Healy (Brother Bonaventure).  The late Brother Dan Healy has a nephew and grandnephew living in Millstreet.

Remembering Brother Dan Healy    1945 – 2024

He embraced an Ecological Christianity

 Brother Dan took the name Bonaventure for his final profession.

 Chapter from Darwin Divinity and the Dance of the Cosmos.

 Human Ones as Harvesters of Grace

Mark 4:26-28

Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is like someone who scatters seed on the ground, goes to bed, and wakes up to discover that the seed has sprouted, but he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full head.

But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes out with the sickle, because the harvest is ripe”. Jesus would have received top marks in any biology class today. In this parable, he describes what scientists call self-organisation. We have finally confirmed what farmers have known for 10,000 years; the planet knows what she’s doing, and so does a seed. Throw them together, add time, and presto, you’ve got wheat. In an emergent universe, there are no external forces causing an Organism to do its thing; the latent tendency of the wheat plant exists within the seed. The farmer in the parable of the Kingdom ‘does not know’ how this happens, and neither to our scientists. All the fancy names might give us some sense of control, but they don’t lessen the mystery.
