I was deeply touched as I watched six deacons lift the archbishop from the floor of the sanctuary and carry him from his cathedral church on the journey to his final resting place as both saints and sinners looked on.  The story of a life well-lived is by necessity complicated. The story of a life touched by a real and immediate encounter with the risen Christ is more so.  For Archbishop Quinn, time passed into eternity just like his mortal remains passed through Manfrini's great bronze portal of the risen Christ. We saints and sinners who remain await our final encounter with the Light born of Light, Jesus, redeemer of the world, Who is yesterday, today, yes and forever.
