Cardinal was penniless
(N.Z. Press Assn —Copyright) BOSTON, Nov. 17. The late Cardinal Richard Cushing, who was well known for his ability to raise money for charity, was penniless when he died on November 2. “I have no insurance, bank deposits, investments or other holdings whatsoever,” the cardinal’s will said. “I entered the service of God poor, and without prosperity, and I have always aspired to leave it equally unemcumbered. “Such few books, vestments or other appurtenances of my office as may be found among my effects were Chiefly gifts ,to me. I have always considered them as being mine only for temporary use, and I give and bequeath them to the Propagation of the Faith of Boston for distribution among poor priests and prelates in the mission fields.”
