“Like Jesus, Annie [Murphy] was an excellent
teacher. Like him, she had a favored place in her big, tender heart for
children, especially those with struggles. Like Jesus, Annie laid down her life
for her friends.”—Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the New York Archdiocese,speaking at the funeral
service of 52-year-old Newtown massacre victim Anne Murphy, whose body was
found covering a group of children’s bodies, as if to protect them, quoted in
Joseph Berger, “Cardinal Finds a Biblical Parallel in a School Aide’s Selfless Life and Death,” The New York Times, December 21, 2012
