A member of Opus Dei, are ye?

Wow, just looked up the Opus Dei... They look to be an interesting bunch. Almost like the Masonic Lodge with the secrecy, but a slightly different religious twist.

Reminds me on that "Go...go with God, but GO!"

My Grandparents came down to Texas for a visit 2 years ago and we decided to go to Mass with them since they usually came to our church. Now you have to understand, my Grandmother is a 5 foot tall Italian woman with big attitude and all the gusto that could fit into a human without exploding. The priest who conducted Mass was also Italian and had just come back from serving in Haiti. He was very outspoken and not afraid to tell you what he thought with all the passion he could muster (as most Italians are). After Mass my grandmother went up to him and started talking a million miles a minute about who knows what and was shooting off in ten thousand different directions all at once. By this time the poor priest was looking totally and completely missplaced and so he said the first thing which came to his mind. He touched her on the forehead and said, "Pray more. Talk less!" This brought on an outraged grandmother who immediately, as he turned around, wopped him on the back of the head with her hand and said, "Smart A$$!!" She promptly turned from the priest, who stood there with a look of utter shock on his face, and made for the car. Leaving a surprised priest and an awestruck crowd of people behind she got in the van and said, "Stupid Priest! Pride will be his downfall!!" I just looked at her and dared not say what so wanted to come from my lips .

I imagine at that point in time the Priest was thinking the same thing, as I know we were while we were trying our hardest to suppress our laughter... "Go! Go with God.... but just go!!!"
