Chris Hedges: Bearing the Cross - Chris Hedges - Truthdig
From Chris Hedges' tribute to Father Daniel Berrigan: "Bearing the cross
is not about the pursuit of happiness. It does not embrace the illusion
of inevitable human progress. It is not about achieving wealth,
celebrity or power. It entails sacrifice. It is about our neighbor."
Mourners follow the hearse carrying the casket of the Rev. Daniel
Berrigan during a procession after his funeral service at the Church of
St. Francis Xavier on Friday in New York City. Berrigan, a Roman
Catholic priest and peace activist since the Vietnam War, died April 30
at 94. (Mary Altaffer / AP)
