Walker Percy at Notre Dame

He taught us how to live by showing us we aren't dead yet.

God bless Dr. Percy and may he rest in peace.
He was a Roman Catholic and I am a High Church Episcopalian Anglo- Catholic. Our Lord willing, however, I still hope to hang out with Dr. Percy in the next world:) --

Tell this to Jenkins!

I recently finished The Second Coming. I will long remember Will's idea involving the three nursing home residents. I'm glad Percy decided to contradict the notion that old folks have little to offer and should therefore submit to pressure withdraw from life.

You've got to admit their fight in the nursing home was pretty hilarious though

Thank you so much for this. No single writer has had a greater impact on my recent thought.

As an earlier commenter noted, we could certainly use Dr. Percy now. I couldn't agree more.

That's good to hear. Have you read his self-help book yet?

Amen, amen, amen!

More people should read his work.

What a joy to be able to see and hear this! He was truly one of the greats. Thanks for posting it.
