- Message from Bill Marty In January 2017, I tore this short essay out of Give Us This Day, and added it to a pile of nuggets. Brian Doyle, who for many years was the editor of the University of Portland’s magazine, wrote this as a reflection on the Beatitudes. In May of 2017, Brian died of brain cancer. We read the Beatitudes from Matthew’s Gospel each year on All Saints Day, so I think this is the appropriate time to share it. Many thanks to Mary Miller Doyle for gracious permission to reprint Brian’s essay here.This is also the first Prayer Nugget with a dedication – to Evelyn Pinkerman, who first suggested the idea of a weekly item on prayer for the bulletin. Evie is retiring on All Saints Day. Bless you, Evie, and thank you!
