If you told me the only way to get out of being stabbed in the throat was to get kicked in the groin, I'd take the kick any day of the week. I'd beg for that kick.
The Eagle Has Flown by Jack Higgins, November 1, 1991, Pocket edition, Mass Market Paperback in English
âOn Eagleâs Wingsâ Father Michael Joncas Father Joncas, 61, of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis in Minnesota, is the composer of the song named by hundreds of voters in a 2006 poll sponsored by the National Association of Pastoral Musicians as their No. 1 liturgical hymn. The diocesan priest wrote âOn Eagleâs Wingsâ in 1979. Since then, it has become a staple at Sunday Masses, funerals and memorial events as a reminder of Godâs uplifting presence in times of sorrow.
