Dear confreres,
On behalf of myself and my entire family, I sincerely thank you for all your expressions of sympathy on the passing of my father. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
I would have liked to reply to each of you personally, but this has not been possible due to the large number of messages I received. I have shared all of them with my family, who join me in expressing gratitude to each and every one of you. I am also grateful for all the Masses offered for my father.
From 11 to 15 August, I had the grace of being with him and saying my farewell. I spent those days with him in the hospital, administered the sacrament of the sick, and prayed with him. Even though his memory was failing, he did not forget the Our Father and the Hail Mary. May he rest in peace! Our faith in the resurrection is our comfort.
THANK YOU ALL, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Fr. Rogério Gomes, C.Ss.R.
Superior General
