Timothy Gallagher

Timothy M. Gallagher, O.M.V. is an American Roman Catholic priest and the Denver-based author of seven bestselling books on the theology and spirituality of Ignatius of Loyola.[1] He served for ten years as provincial superior of his Catholic religious congregation, the Oblates of the Virgin Mary.

Biography

Timothy M. Gallagher was ordained to the priesthood in 1979.[2] In 1983, he obtained his doctorate from The Pontifical Gregorian University,[2] and became a spiritual director and retreat leader. He has taught at St. John's Seminary, Brighton, and Our Lady of Grace Seminary Residence, Boston, both in Massachusetts. In 2015, Father Gallagher accepted the St. Ignatius Chair for Spiritual Formation at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver.[3]

Writing

Since 2005, he has written a series of books on core topics in Ignatian spirituality, including contemplation and meditation. The Examen Prayer, honored by the Catholic Press Association, was the first to appear on the national Catholic bestseller list.[4] The Discernment of Spirits was later made into a 26-part CatholicTV series.[2]

In 2013, Fr. Gallagher published a biography of the Venerable Bruno Lanteri entitled: Begin Again: The Life and Spiritual Legacy of Bruno Lanteri. This is his third book on the Venerable Lanteri, joining two others written in the 1980s. During the publication process of Begin Again, he wrote another book, Praying the Liturgy of the Hours: Reflections on An Experience of Forty Years, published by Crossroad in 2014.[5][1]

In 2016, Fr. Gallagher published a small, popular title about Venerable Bruno Lanteri via the Discerning Hearts ministry, containing spiritual counsels from his life and writings.[6]
