I was honoured to know and meet Michael many times. He is a humble giant who has transformed the lives of so many, and his passion to advocate for women - their role in society and the church, their access to education, and their rightful place alongside all peoples is exemplary. I was in contact with him just 3 weeks ago sharing Christmas greetings and I take comfort and consolation that he said he was in as good a form as he has been in a long time. He knew this day was close and he was ready for it. He has left us this amazing legacy and inspiration. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís.
