We met yesterday to say farewell. As the late morning sun sweltered into mid-day, there, in a quiet suburban Maryland town, several hundred people filled a small church, which testified to the efforts of Jesuit fathers working in the fields of the Lord. Sitting in the pews and standing along walls hung with scenes from the Via Dolorosa, mourners raised their choking voices to organ strains of Amazing Grace. The sound rose to the ancient rafters. Farewell fair spring farewell. With sad hearts we bid farewell, ever hopeful in the assurance that faith promises: we will all rise to life again.
