Please pray for the soul of James Cardinal Hickey, archbishop emeritus of the Archdiocese of Washington, who died this morning at the age of 84.
Cardinal Hickey once did me a great kindness. One year, we were invited to write down our prayer requests on our pledge cards for the Cardinal's Stewardship Appeal. So I wrote mine in -- and, a few weeks later, received a personal note from the Cardinal assuring me of his prayers for my intention. And my prayer was answered a couple of years later when Hambet was born.
