Funeral Mass for Fr Benedict Groeschel CFR

Russell Shaw at Our Sunday Visitor has an article about the death of Fr Benedict Groeschel, CFR.  EWTN broadcast the Mass of Christian Burial for him the other day.

There were two cardinals, a dozen Bishops, more then a hundred priests, uncounted members of religious congregations, and innumerable laity at the Mass in Newark New Jersey.

I have read several of his books, and corresponded with him a couple of times more than 15 years ago.  He sent me a picture of himself with Mother Theresa which I have on my dresser.

Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
