Today was the feast day for Blessed Alvaro del Portillo and a mass was celebrated for him. I was a bit worried that Laura and Dylan would be restless since Opus Dei masses are notoriously long and meditative - and like today - was done in three different languages - English, Filipino and Latin.
But their Auntie Mimi was pretty impressed at how well-behaved they were, considering how warm it was inside the church! We had to go out for two water and bathroom breaks though as the mass lasted for almost two hours!
The Opus Dei community in Manila is very sizeable pala as the church was packed! That's a whole lot of conservatives for you!
