________________________________
Father Dan Hurley spent over six decades teaching and guiding young adults in various Franciscan schools of higher learning. While the formal subjects he taught ranged from history to philosophy, those he taught learned most from the way he was able to balance the human and the spiritual in his own life.
Dan ended his teaching career in 1990 and moved from St. Bonaventure University, in western New York, to Mount Irenaeus, a mountain top retreat near the school. There, with a handful of other friars, he welcomed students from the university and others seeking time for contemplative prayer. He was particularly famous for the blueberry pies he baked for meals.
As Father Dan Riley put it, "Dan Hurley could walk into any room, to see anyone, to enjoy anything, to be present at whatever might delight." This remained true of Dan, even at the end of his life when he was blind. To encounter Dan was to experience a man filled with peace and joy.
"I marvel how God has used me for his purposes," Dan said as an old man, "in ways I never imagined. To say the Lord 'used me' is not a negative attitude. It is an expression of surprise… at how God's love reaches others when you say, 'Here I am, Lord.'"
