McNulty took a per- sonal interest in every venture un- dertaken in the name of the University— external testimony of the deep spirit that was his. Without doubt the principle of his life and the pervading influence of his actions was his calling as a priest. Tenderness, enthusiasm, love, humor, loyalty, devotion, thought- fulness— all, like the waters flowing from the temples in the vision of Ezechiel, poured out from the font of his priesthood. He fulfilled the admonition given him at ordination . . . be perfect in faith and prac- tice, well-grounded in the two-fold love of God and neighbor 7 This is why the eulogist could say, 7 The Church has lost a great priest, the community a great lead- er, Seton Hall a great president, and many thousands a sincere, self- sacrificing friend. We shall miss his kindly smile, his inimitable wit, his contagious enthusiasm, his ever- welcome inspiration. We shall miss him, but he will go on and on liv- ing in the memories of all of us. And because he will go on living in our memories, Msgr. McNulty will not have died, for he does not die who lives— he does not die who lives on in the heart of those who love him. He will live on in the hearts of thousands, because thous- ands— many thousands loved Mon- signor McNulty! 77 12
