I will not forget reading these words on Raymond Arroyo's blog on January 8th: "Father Richard John Neuhaus has gone to the Lord. My heart breaks with so many of you who loved and respected Father Neuhaus."
Like so many, I will admire and respect Fr. Neuhaus for the rest of my life. I didn't know him personally, but I read him regularly, most often in the pages of First Things. And in his writings I found faith, wisdom, hope and love.
Fr. Richard John Neuhaus will be sorely missed for decades to come. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
