Summary of The Ballad of Father Gilligan
There is one old priest named Father Gilligan who was very tired. Half of his ‘flock’ were dead and he had to perform a priest’s duty while passing for all of them. On one such day of tiredness, while he was asleep on a chair, another man sent for him. Father Gilligan could bear it no longer and cries out his distress. But then he immediately asks forgiveness from the Lord for his outburst and he kneels and prays for it. He falls asleep in that position. He sleeps for a very long time. Night comes and goes. When Father Gilligan wakes up, a whole day has passed. He immediately gets on a horse and reaches the man’s home for whom he was sent. But the wife, who was shocked to see Father Gillian come to visit them again, says that the man already passed away and that he was happy due comfort Father Gillian had provided before he died. Father Gilligan cries out in joy, saying that God heard his words and sent down an angel to do his job for him.
