[WilliamPitt]

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Bless you, Teddy, and thank you, sir

4. Peace be with you, Ted...

Finally a moment alone to grieve for one of our very finest.... One can never really be a fully lapsed Catholic, can they, on a day like this?

Bless those who live their lives thinking of and working for others. Ted was the epitome of such a person.

19. You know I have to add it in Irish

Sé do bheatha, a Mhuire,
Atá lán de ghrásta,
Tá an Tiarna leat.
Is beannaithe thú idir mná
Agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Íosa.


A Naomh Mhuire, a mháthair Dé,
Guigh orainn, na peacaigh,
Anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

[nashville_brook]

27. only days ago did i realize that i, and my family, are "kennedy catholics"- reading JFK: Unspeakable

realized that it had nothing to do with "the church" -- it was a civic religion for them, and I inherited that. "world peace" and all that.

this is the first time i've seen the phrase used outside of my own musing.

[EFerrari]

32. Kennedy Catholics like us are the trojan horse for liberation theology.

:)

[nashville_brook]

34. it took me a long time to realize that liberation theology wasn't sanctioned by The Church.

what a let down!

and yes, it is up to us - :)

28. Agnus Dei, Requiem aeternum

Libera me, Domine, de mortu aeternum!
I also like Dies Irae, where medieval man says: If you don't save me, why did you (Christ) die for me.
Godspeed Teddy!

37. One of the things I really liked about Teddy Kennedy ...

He wasn't a political Jesus ventriloquist.

What's got into Democrats lately?
