Amen

This from a CNN interview with Rev. David O'Connell, president of the Catholic University of America:

O'CONNELL: Well, you know, I was speaking with a cardinal friend of mine who was assigned in Rome this morning.

He told me a story -- if I might share it with you, Wolf, and with our viewers. He said that in the pope's last minutes he grasped the hand of Archbishop [Stanislaw] Dziwisz.

And looking out the window, the curtains were not drawn, he was looking out the window. And he said, "amen." And then he passed on -- beautiful, touching communication, a sense that it was finished, it was over.

A beautiful ending to an extraordinary life.
