'We Are People of Life' : A sermon for Barbara Olson--and for America.

It is most appropriate that we gather for this memorial Mass for Barbara Olson in this cathedral, dedicated to St. Thomas More, a lawyer and a government official. He reminds us that the legal profession, and work in government, are noble professions.

I missed the service, thank you Pokey, my cousin told me the service was inspiring.

[Alberta's Child]

Because there is an empty tomb in Jerusalem, our hearts, though mourning, are full today.

The only quote of the last 2,000 years that really matters.

This was one of the most inspiring and profound homilies (sermons) I've ever heard. Possibly the best. But it was the delivery that put HEART in it. I guess it had to be. Nothing less would have been sufficient to honor and memorialize so great a woman; so great a warrior; SO GREAT A PATRIOT.

Rest in the Lord, Sister in Christ.
