Archbishop Hannan Dies, But Leaves A Legacy

I thought that this news could not go unnoticed as Archbishop Hannan died last Thursday after an amazing 98 years on this earth. He was an great bishop for the Archdiocese of New Orleans and amazing man. I even had Archbishop Hannan confirm me just ten years ago. Even though I only directly spoke to him a few times, I still feel that he truly witnessed to me. He showed me the potential that each one of us has when we simply wake up every morning and ask the Lord what He wants us to do to help build His Kingdom here on earth. He was truly a man that loved and served the Lord. Here is a great prayer that I got from Fr. Brent that is simple to say for Archbishop Hannan

De Profundis
Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication.
If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the Lord,
For with the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
