Tim Russert

June 17, 2008 |

I’ve been thinking about writing about Tim Russert’s death and the role that his faith played in his life and work, but I’ve been putting it off for some reason.  Maybe, it’s just my current jaundiced view of journalists wouldn’t allow my creative juices to get flowing.

But this was a rather remarkable man.  He was a Catholic through and through.  He lived his faith.  He did not check his Catholicism at the newsroom door, nor did he allow his rather lofty station in life preclude him from humbling himself before the Eternal Father and serving Christ and his neighbor.  And as he was also a devoted father and husband, I think he would have fit right in on Catholic Dads.

In any case, I was reading Pro Ecclesia and saw a link to this Newsweek article.  I think it sums up rather well Brother Russert’s life and faith.  May we all be as joyous and committed in showing our love for the Church and living our faith 24/7.
