“It took a Lincoln’s blood to write a nation; it has taken a Kennedy’s blood to prepare for the equality of men in that same nation…On a brighter Easter day, we shall see that our national brotherhood was purchased by the blood of a victim.  Both were great, not by what was done by them, but what was done through them…these two Presidents of Sorrow stand forever near the Man of Sorrow saying: “I will stand here at Thy side; despise my nation not.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen
