Although Ed believes the first query he will face in Heaven is how he proclaimed the Gospel, I wonder if the first question might be how well he lived it? Asking for a friend.

Ed. (why the period?) it's a bit grating to see 1) it's in place of its, and 2) the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei referred to as "the Opus" ("el Opus" is a very derogatory nickname in Spanish). FWIW, we faithful of Opus Dei use "the Work" as a shorthand with no qualms. I guess we love the vernacular more than we're rumored to!

I did find a good Q&A on opusdei.org: https://opusdei.org/en-us/article/motu-proprio-ad-charisma-tuendum-questions-and-answers/

"...it’s been hot all over this week, but it has been especially warm in the UK, where temperatures reached 104° Fahrenheit (40°C to normal people)."

We in Australia are feeling their pain, but amused at how they are trying to find comfort OUTSIDE in the heat. That is stay indoor weather. :D
