Cardinal preaches at transfer of Richard III’s remains
March 23, 2015
The remains of King Richard III of England, discovered during an excavation at the University of Leicester in 2012, were transferred to Leicester Cathedral on March 23.
“We pray for him today just as those who prayed for him at the time of his death in 1485, those whose hearts were not filled with the vengeance of victory or the hatred of an enemy,” Cardinal Vincent Nichols preached.
