The last weeks have seen a string of deaths among people known to me...
The Easter Season is as good a time if any to recall that for Christians death is not the end but the beginning of a new and everlasting life...
Eternal rest grant to all these good people Lord and may your light shine upon them and all of us...May we know your true peace!!!
- On 15 May Fr. Maurice Figueiredo succumbed to his injuries sustained in a road accident in Goa...a tragic end for a dedicated catechist and pastor...
- On 22 May it was Archie Braganza - the grand old man of our parish who went on to his heavenly reward after suffering much in the last few months...
- On 23 May Marcus Brahmane - also a senior in our parish went home to the Lord... a good Christian who made many sacrifices for the education of his children...
- Then yesterday we received the sad news of the death of Fr. Giuseppe Moja in Italy...a true son of Don Bosco - albeit 'tough as nails' and 'quick of tongue'...
- Today it was the turn of the good lady Magdalene D'Souza(popularly known as "Maggie") from Nirmala Home who passed away...a quiet soul who served faithfully and without too much of a fuss...
The Easter Season is as good a time if any to recall that for Christians death is not the end but the beginning of a new and everlasting life...
Eternal rest grant to all these good people Lord and may your light shine upon them and all of us...May we know your true peace!!!
