Sunday Reflection: Charlie Kirk, Rest in Peace

I was a huge Charlie Kirk fan. His respectful, intelligent dialogs with students educated as well as persuaded. I've been just sick since he was martyred. His funeral is today in Phoenix. 

I thought it would be appropriate to pass along comments from New York's Cardinal Dolan regarding Mr. Kirk.

“When I heard the tragic news, I said, ‘I wonder who he was.’ And then all of a sudden, this overwhelming, this overwhelming sense of sorrow and kind of renewal.” “And I thought, I gotta learn about this guy. And the more I learned about him, I thought, this guy's a modern day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero.” “He's one that knew what Jesus meant when he said, the truth will set you free. And to do it, Now, I understand he was pretty blunt and he was pretty direct. He didn't try to avoid any controversy. He didn't even try to avoid confrontation. The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he did it, always with respect.”

For example, here is Charlie discussing the abortion issue. 

This is what Charlie preached:

I cannot think of a better way to live. Rest in peace, Charlie. And, we should each offer dozens of prayers for his widow and children.
