Richard Neuhaus is not here…

RJN ordination1.jpgLast evening a segment of the faithful gathered at St. Patrick’s Cathedral for the Sacrifice of the Mass, celebrated by Archbishop Celestino Migliore, on the first anniversary of the death of a friend, Father Richard John Neuhaus. It is hard to conceive with ease that a year has past since Father Richard passed from life to Life. He died a year ago as a result of complications to cancer at 72.

Father George Rutler’s terrific homily may be read here.
Also, there is Robert Louis Wilken’s article, “An Anniversary.”
