A Great Priest Remembered

Today is the one year anniversary of the death of Fr Richard John Neuhaus. Tonight a Mass for the repose of his soul is being said in St Patrick's Cathedral. First Things Magazine, of which Fr Neuhaus was chief editor, has printed the homily given by Fr George Rutler at that Mass.
The library of Fr Neuhaus' writings is extensive.
If you've read anything by this priest, you know what an asset he was and his writings continue to be to the Church. If you haven't read anything by him, I suggest Death On a Friday Afternoon. This article is Fr Neuhaus' reflection and meditation on the seven last words of Christ.
My first encounter with Fr Neuhaus' writing was an article he wrote in First Things about Bible translations. It was because of this article that I now use the Douay~Rheims translation. Fr Neuhaus was not a fan of the New American Bible which is the translation used in or Lectionary for Mass. When I read some of the Douay~Rheims, that was it, I was hooked! (I apologize for not giving a link to that article, but I can't remember which one it was. If you search First Things Archives, you will find several articles written by father on this topic.)
Fr. Rutler gave a beautiful homily at this Mass for Fr Neuhaus; you can read it here.
May this good and faithful priest rest in the peace of Christ.
