 the father of a priest of Opus Dei who had met Opus Dei at MIT in the 50s and 60s, and he was Nigerian. It was just physically impossible to get him back on time. I was able to preside at the funeral. I think, boy, it's right out of these words of the gospel, let the dead bury their death. Does that mean that we shouldn't have feelings and affection for our loved ones? We should.
