ous episcopal ministry produced

The edifice was open 24 hours a
day.
At one time, lines of people
six and eight abreast extended
for some 20 city blocks, waited
to enter the cathedral to pay
their last respects to the Card
inal.
Preceding this, the body of
the beloved Cardinal had ar
rived here by plane from Rome,
and it is estimated that well
over a quarter of a million peo
ple lined the route .as the cort
ege escorting the body made its
way from O’Hara airport to
downtown Chicago.
All Chicago was plunged into
mourning. The Cathedral and
all other Catholic churches had
their entrances draped in purple
and black crepe. Flags on mu
nicipal buildings flew at half-
staff. The entrance to City Hall
was draped in black.
His Excellency Archbishop
Amleto Giovanni Cicognani,
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, was celebrant of the fu
neral Mass.
“We lay at his feet our tribute
of reverence and affection, Bish
op William E. Cousins of Peo
ria, 111., said in his sermon at
the Mass. He predicted that
“generations yet unborn will
revere and exalt the name” of
the Cardinal, “a man they never
knew.”
“Permit me to speak, not of
a public figure, but of a kindly,
gracious man of God who walk
ed our earth all too briefly,
and left all of us a little better
for having known him,” Bishop
Cousins said.
The Bishop, who had been a
priest of the Archdiocese of
Chicago before his elevation to
the episcopate, spoke of the late
Cardinal as “an upcomprising
American,” as the second oldest
member of the American Hier
archy in years of consecration,
as a prelate who had served the
National Catholic Welfare Con
ference long and well, as “a
priest of the people, loving them
with a deep Christ-like love,”
as one who held an exalted of
fice but “managed with inherent
simplicity and humility to let
the man shine through.”
Bishop Cousins said that,
“from the early days of his
priesthood,” Cardinal Stritch
was “destined to be a leader,
and he discharged the duties of
each new.assignment with cha
racteristic apostolic zeal.”
“His love for the country of
his birth was an intense, whole-
souled sentiment that could nev
er be challenged,” the Bishop
added. He asserted that Cardi
nal Stritch “was a firm believer
in our country’s essential great
ness, and he preached consist
ently the responsibility of loyal
American Catholics to keep it
so.”
The Bishop said that “vol
umes can and will be written”
of the Cardinal’s “prestige as
one of the outstanding church
men of recent generations,” and
that “a litany of his achieve
ments could be recited.”
“To an already inspiring life,”
Bishop Cousins continued, Card
inal Stritch “added inspiration

Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, as

Before it arrived here, the
airplane carrying the remains
of Cardinal Stritch landed in
New York at about 6:45 a. m.
for a two hour stay.
While the body was there, it
was blessed by Auxiliary Bishop
John J. Broadman of Brooklyn
who lead the delegation of
priests and laymen that met the
plane.
Several thousand men, wo
men and children were at the
O’Hara airport here when the
Cardinal’s body arrived in this
city. Hundreds of priests and
numerous representatives of lo
cal governments were among
those in attendance.
It was recalled here that when
Cardinal Stritch left Chicago a
little over a month ago to take
up the duties of Pro-Prefect of
the Sacred Congregation for the
Propagation of the Faith in
Rome, he told a throng at the
railroad station that he would
return to Chicago some day, and
expressed hope that they would
come down to the station to
welcome him.

Waiting to enter Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, to file past the bier of His Eminence Samuel
Cardinal Stritch, a crowd of thousands circled two sides of the block at State Street and Chicago
Avenue. The body remained in the cathedral during a three-day lying-in-state period, before the
funeral services, June 3. Churches and public buildings were draped in mourning and flags flown
at half-staff for the popular church leader.—(N. C. Photos).
the Faith. His unselfish accept
ance of duty’s call will endure
in the memories of well dispos
ed men for unnumbered years.
His appointment to the Roman
Curia was so unprecedented that
it became a subject of conversa
tion and speculation for people
throughout the world. Millions
recognizing the sacrifices in
volved were deeply edified by
his resignation to God’s will, as
expressed by the Holy See.”
The Cardinal’s last hours,
Bishop Cousins said, “were wor
thy of his unfailing priestliness.
Day after day for almost half a
century he communed with the
infinite Son of God in his
mourning Mass. He calmly and
patiently awaited the end of a
full life in the same Divine
Company, united himself with
the suffering Christ, never al
lowing the crucifix to leave his
hands. He followed where God
beckoned. He went to the Eter-
hal City to keep his rendezvous
with death.”
The five absolutions after the
Mass were bestowed by Cardi
nal Mooney, Archbishop Cicog-
nani, Bishop William A. O’Con
nor of Springfield-in-Illinois,
Bishop Martin D. McNamara of
Joliet, 111., and Bishop Albert
R. Zuroweste of Belleville, 111.
Before the Mass at which the
papal delegate officiated, three
other Requiem Masses were of
fered.
On Saturday, May 31, Auxili
ary Archbishop William D. O’
Brien of Chicago, president of
the Catholic Church Extension
Society and a close friend of the
late Cardinal, offered a Re
quiem Mass attended by mem
bers of religious orders from
within the archdiocese.
On Monday, June 2, the sec
ond Requiem Mass was offered
in the Cathedral by Auxiliary
Bishop Bernard J. Sheil of Chi-,
cago. It was attended by the
school children of the archdio
cese.
Also on Monday, the third Re
quiem Mass was offered in St.
Peter’s Church by Bishop Al
bert R. Zuroweste of Belleville,
111., and attended by members
of the Knights of Columbus of
