What a great man and priest RJN was. The Public Square has been one of the higlights of every month throughout the decade I have been subscribing to First Things. My only quibble with First Things is that I have to wait two months for a new issues between June and September!

That he also left us such profound and moving meditations as Death on a Friday Afternoon and As I Lay Dying, in addition to his legacy at First Things, is something for which we should all be grateful. RIP
