Fr. Neuhaus has Received Last Rites

[Fr. Neuhaus’s] friends and family are keeping vigil and he was
administered last rites shortly after midnight. Fr. George Rutler, who
gave him the Catholic Sacrament, says that ‘he is not expected to live
long’ and suggests ‘that it is appropriate that prayers be offered for
a holy death.’

Father, grant your servant and son the grace of a happy death and eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for him that he may live forever in the kingdom of your Son.

Thanks for your kindness to me, Fr. Neuhaus. I’ll never forget it. God love you.
