ohn XXIII during his pontificate defined Bie doctrines, but in every public move he made, in the startling directness of his speech, the simplicity of his manner, and in the youthfulness (it is the only word for it) of his approach to the world, he was a liv- ing example of what it means to be a Chris- tian. The incarnational aspect of Catholic teaching was never clearer to those both within and without the Church than it was when the little man from Bergamo sat, just a bit uncomfortably, on the papal throne. orks If Pope John had not been the kind of person he was, his accomplishments would not have been as great as they were. There is an art that conceals art, and perhaps a sanctity that hides sanctity. The Holy Father must have had it in great measure, and so genuinely that we are convinced that not even he knew it was his. Quoted in America, written by John Cogley, Issue June 15, 1965. dication ohn Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, soldier, scholar, statesman, defender of freedom, pioneer for peace, authority of hope — combining courage with reason, and combatting hate with compassion, he led the land he loved toward new frontiers of opportunity for all men and peace for all time. Beloved in a life of selfless service, mourned by all in a death of senseless crime, the energy, faith and devotion which he brought to his extra- ordinarily successful though tragically brief endeavours will hereafter “light our country and all who se rve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.” Citation read by President Johnson at the Presentation of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to if F.

One was an octogenarian; the other, a man considered incredibly young for his position. One was simple and under- standing; the other, a scholar capable of instant decision. One died quietly; the other, by an assassin’s bullet. Yet no one will deny that the similarity of one to the other was truly astounding. Their deaths, separated but by a few months, had tremendous impact on the nations of the world. For both were loved, for their political knowledge, for their sophistication and constant poise in the face of disaster, for their kindness and brotherliness . . . for their humanity. They were loved because they were themselves. They helped form the world in which we, graduates of 1964, will live our lives. And now they are gone. May they rest in peace.
