We have learned in the last few minutes that Senator Ted Kennedy, who suffered medical problems over this past weekend, has a malignant brain tumor. Senator Kennedy, often called the "Lion of the Senate" is America's progressive legislative leader. Those of us concerned about issues of war, poverty and health care know that no one member of Congress over the last 40 years has been more important to our causes. As a member of the board of directors of the National Coalition for the Homeless, I had the opportunity to work with his office on issues expanding educational opportunities for homeless kids. I urge all people of faith to join in offering prayers for Senator Kennedy's health. Pray too for his family, staff and the medical team working to help Senator Kennedy recover.
