The Ballad of Father Gilligan(Summary)

 ЁЯУЦ Summary of “The Ballad of Father Gilligan”


"The Ballad of Father Gilligan" tells the touching story of an old, weary priest named Father Peter Gilligan. During a time of famine or epidemic, many people in his parish are dying. Day and night, he goes from house to house, offering prayers and last rites to the dying. He is physically and emotionally exhausted.


One evening, as he rests on a chair, another person sends for him. Overwhelmed, he speaks words of frustration and quickly asks God for forgiveness, realizing his complaint was born out of tiredness. While praying, he falls asleep unknowingly.


When he wakes up the next morning, he panics, thinking the dying man must have passed away without receiving his final blessings. He rushes to the man’s house, only to find that the man has already died — peacefully — and the family believes Father Gilligan had already come.


At that moment, Father Gilligan realizes that while he was asleep, God sent an angel in his place to perform the sacred duty. Overcome with gratitude, he kneels and prays, thanking God for His mercy and compassion.
