He was a decent father. He stood when he was called.
He died well. I hope and pray I can have the grace to die well too. In that he is an exemplar.

A lot of that is coming from groups trying to Co-opt him for their cause.
Whatever. He died a Catholic priest doing heroic deeds. When it came down to it he knew who he was in his last hours.

That photo guts me every time. I mean, most photos from 9/11 do but there's a certain innocence in this one that just eviscerates me. The fact that he died administering Last Rites too, regardless of what kind of a priest he was—in that moment, he died doing our Lord's work.

Amen Fenwick. I have often heard our true-selves come out in situations like these. I do not think anyone could say he was not sincere in his vocation despite the thorns of the flesh.
