TED KENNEDY, AMERICA BURIES HER SENATOR TODAY AT ARLINGTON!
Today concludes the journey to Arlington for the late United States senator from the State of Massachusetts, Senator Edward Kennedy! A journey which began in Cape Cod, through his stomping grounds in Boston, to his brother JFK's presidential library where it had laid in state since. Later this afternoon, it will commence the final lap of the marathon to Arlington, after a requiem mass at Mission Church Boston, for final interment. Icheoku says, so far so good with the funeral arrangement and progression; and we hope it concludes in the same flawless manner with which it began. A man of the people whom Vice President Joe Biden described in his funeral speech as someone who 'it is never about him' but the rest of humanity some of who do not have people to speak on their behalf. Another sympathizer described him as a man of power who used his powerful position to help the less powerful and powerless of the society. Icheoku says, if only the rest of humanity can learn the lesson of the senator's life, death and funeral, that selfless work pays big time! Twenty thousand people who filed through his repose attest to this fact; each was there to bear testimony about Ted, the man!
Such a selfless trait from a man, who despite his gracious and golden pedigree, still ordinarily related to the man on the streets till his final days, final hours, final minutes and final seconds here on earth, is quite uncommon? We strongly believe that his good deeds have purchased him a safe passage to the Kingdom; that his sins have been washed away by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and further forgiven through confessionals and a contrite heart. Icheoku reaffirms this abiding faith of Catholicism, which Senator Edward Kennedy professes, that God Almighty will fulfil his promise to all those who were baptised in Christ and died in the state of grace. Once again, your death has created a big chasm and is so painful to so many! Rest in the Lord's bosom Teddy!
