Abstract
I met this priest only twice. On the second occasion, we had a longer conversation: for over an hour we strolled round the gardens of the Jesuits in Cracow, in Kopernika St., where Father Stanisław lived. It was July 2003. That conversation was very important for me; we were supposed to return to it. Unfortunately, we did not. On 15 March 2004 I attended his funeral. The mass, in a full basilica of the Heart of Jesus, was concelebrated by 87 priests led by Cardinal Franciszek Macharski, the then archbishop-metropolitan of Cracow; in attendance were also the bishop of the Evangelical Reformed Church and a Lutheran minister. The main celebrant also led the funeral ceremony at the cemetery, where Father Musiał drew even bigger crowds. The presence of a sizeable group of Jews was something extraordinary, and they had come not only from Poland but also from Israel. Among the Jewish celebrities were three rabbis: the chief rabbi of Poland, the rabbi of Cracow and the Hasidic rabbi of Jerusalem; the latter sang kaddish over the Father's grave. The Jews of Cracow were represented by the chairman of the local community. Israeli ambassador in Poland David Peleg was also present.
