Bono has a great column honoring Sargent Shriver (RIP) in today’s NYT. (H/TMary DeTurris Proust)
It’s a beautiful testament to Shriver’s work (who was, btw, the last pro-life Democrat to run on a national ticket) and, more importantly, his faith and life.
His faith demanded action, from him, from all of us. For the Word to become flesh, we had to become the eyes, the ears, the hands of a just God. Injustice could, in the words of the old spiritual, “Be Overcome.” Robert Sargent sang, “Make me a channel of your peace,” and became the song.
