• How to be remembered

    I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich.

    I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers.

    I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards.

    I hope that money is not wasted on my obsequies which could be better spent on doing good.

    I hope that an Easter mass is celebrated not state-sanctioned pomp and pride.

    Do you teach that last topic personally Padre, or have you farmed that out to others more expert?

    The only time that I recall my Roberto, of blessed memory, taking off his socks, was when bathing or swimming!
