Fr. Bernard MURPHY O.Carm.

I met Fr. Bernard recently as he popped in regularly so see my uncle, Fr. Frank O'Gara, in his final days in Gort Muire.
Fr. Bernard was so kind and attentive to Fr. Frank and he enjoyed a bit of banter with us too. He told us of his times with Fr. Frank in St. James' Hospital.
He had invited us to attend his Golden Jubilee. I turned up in Whitefriar St. this evening to mark Fr. Bernard's Golden Jubilee only to find out he had passed away vey recently. I'm sorry to hear he didn't make it to mark the big occasion.
Condolences to Fr. Bernard's family and Carmelite Confrères on your loss.

To all Bernard's family and especially his adopted brothers in the Carmelite order. I am so sorry for your loss. We cannot afford to lose priests like Fr Bernard. I first met Bernard while working as a chaplain in Wheatfield prison. I was visiting a prisoner in hospital and met this wonderful priest walking the corridor. I whispered the lads situation and after that whenever another lad went to hospital Bernard made sure to drop in for a chat. He was a true Dub always smiling and friendly. You had a wonderful ministry Bernard may you now reap your reward. Rest in peace.
Mic.

I am greatly saddened to hear the news of the passing of Fr. Bernard.
I want to extend my deepest condolences to the Murphy family and to Fr. Bernard's Carmelite colleagues and friends.
He endeared himself to all those who came into contact with him during his years at Knocktopher Friary.
His outgoing personality and sense of humour won him many friends.
Rest In Peace Fr. Bernard.

Bernard, we have been honoured to have you in our lives for all these years. Our very special brother uncle and friend . So many happy memories of the 50 mile walk in Aberystwyth when you raised just over £250. The first of many of your fund raisers. The parachute jumps, the summer fayres at Hazelwood castle. The many Dublin marathons and the blisters you suffered at the end.
. Thank you for all your love, support, friendship and advice over the many years.
Good night and God bless. Rest in peace my brother

Condolences to the Murphy family and Carmelite Order on the passing of Fr Bernard. Such lovely messages being left by everyone he touched during his life. He was so good when Dad passed coming to the house to say prayers (in covid times). Not sure he will get much rest in heaven with all his OGrady cousins waiting for him to arrive.

My condolences to all Fr Bernard's famiy, his fellow Carmelites. From your days a chaplain in SJH and our many trips to Lourdes and lots of other occasions, you brought a smile to my face, with a kind word, little song or dance.
You always asked after my parents and my Aunt, who you fondly called Granny Mary from your days in England. May your gentle soul rest in peace.
