Father Keeney was deeply grateful for his decades of service to the poor, the deaf and the local people who made our small inner-city parish their home. His gratitude was not for what he was able to do for others, however. It was for how his parishioners helped him “become rich in love.” As I watched many of those same parishioners surround his hospice bed, the words of Pope Francis at long last seemed clear: “The poor guarantee us an eternal income.”
