Judy Anderson, Ed Riely and I went down to the Wednesday wake for Benedict Groechel, held in the Bronx at his community's first church and Friary.
It was profound, as I knew it would be. Here is a link to some pictures – notice how young most of the vowed religious – nuns, brothers, and priests – are.
