Chicago's Cardinal George breaks hip on Holy Saturday

Say a prayer for Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, who broke his hip today while blessing Easter baskets at a church on the city's Northwest Side.

A polio sufferer as a child, the Cardinal has suffered from poor health in recent years. Last June he had a cancerous bladder removed.

However, the George took his fall well, telling parishioners:

All of us fall in many ways in our life, but with the grace of God, ... we get up and we go on.

Well phrased.
