Thank You, Senator Kennedy


* * *

To live the Gospel message is not easy. To advocate loudly for all while maintaining a quiet, consistent faith takes courage. As I watched Ted Kennedy's funeral this morning I teared up, calling to mind the life of a man who 'got' what it meant to be a person for others - all others.

I know my brother Ted rests in peace.
I pray his prophetic vision for America continues to instill hope.
Above all, I thank God for the gifts Senator Kennedy shared with so many.

"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

-Sen. Ted Kennedy
1980 Democratic National Convention
