1 17 GOVERNORS, TEACHERS, SPIRITUAL PASTORS AND MASTERS. . . .The Book of Common Prayer We Aquinas Men feel deeply grateful that in the span of his brief but productive life, Father Richard J . Kinsella passed our way. We have been enriched by his earthly life. Integrity, compassion, and love of God are a few of the lessons that we learned from this noble man. He had the unique and magnificent faculty of being able to temper ruthlessness with understanding. Few men are so gifted. Our hearts are heavy and our eyes are dimmed with the trace of a tear, but it is with fond memories that we dedicate this issue of the SUMMA to a distinguished professor, a dedicated churchman, and a Christian gentleman. . . Father Richard J. Kinsella. We are proud to have called him Father, teacher, friend. REVEREND Richard J. Kinsella Dedication ,59 At daily mass in the chapel Watching over his flock
