Sad news from the friends and family of Neuhaus:

His 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.”
Fr. Neuhaus has come close to this moment before and been back. If it’s his time: Go in peace.

The world is losing a brilliant and prolific writer. Please join me in praying that the Lord might yet give him more time on earth and if not, that he might find peace and rest for his soul in communion with his Lord and Savior.
