Fr. Luis de Moya, RIP: Availability of heart. What is that?

In Your Presence - A podcast by Eric Nicolai

Fr.  Luis de Moya passed away on November 9th, 2020 in Pamplona, Spain, as a result of complications due to an operation. He was in his late 60s. He was a numerary priest of Opus Dei, incarnated in the Prelature. He had studied medicine, then went to Rome to study theology and was ordained a priest. In 1990 after traffic accident in Madrid he ended up being a tetraplegic, and lived the rest of his life in Pamplona Spain. When he first woke up from the accident, he couldn't remember anything, and he did not think about what he couldn’t do or all that he had lost. He describes his thought process as "total": He only thought of what was absolutely fundamental: Soy vivo, Dios es el punto de referencia, y soy sacerdote: I am alive, God is my reference point, and I am a priest. Period. Fr. Eric Nicolai preaches to numeraries in Ernescliff College, and gives an account of the heroic witness of Fr. Luis de Moya, whom he met in Pamplona, and comments from the new letter from the Prelate of Opus Dei from Oct 28, 2020. Music: Adagio in C major, K. 356 - Guitar Arrangement - Bert Alink
