Some people will never get past his flaws and will always be dismayed by his positions on hot-button social issues, but let us all pay tribute to his decades-long advocacy and work for the poor and the vulnerable in our society. May another champion of the poor rise to take his place in the Senate.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Amen. Thank you. Yes, despite all the flaws, he was a champion of the poor and your short post and prayer is a passionate yet succinct testament to Senator Kennedy.
