Earlier today, FrFausto Tentorio, PIME Missioner was laid to rest in Mindanao, Phils. His "death is an emulation, a following, an imitation of Jesus’ own death on the cross.” A few days ago i read the prayer for Priests that you posted and FrFausto was definitely sent to answer the prayers of the natives/poor in that area in Mindanao. It's a constant struggle - loving those who are bent on using violent means. Am just hoping that praying for them will eventually lead me to that path (of love). May your lamp continue to give light, not only in Concord but also in Hongkong.

It brought back many memories to me. He was totally selfless in promoting faith embedded in social justice and action in society and his vision and legacy was inspiring.<br />His motto for all of us was Amen, Alleluia : to do always the will of God for making the will of God makes us truly happy.<br />When I was a teenager I remember there was much emphasis on social action as part of our faith.<br />The Jesuit refugee service started by him to help look after the Vietnamese boat people in the 70's. Some came to Staffordshire UK and it was a talk by a Jesuit that enthused myself and others to help these people. <br />Thanks for activating good memories - brings back the true spirit of Vatican II(IMHO)!!<br /><br />BlessingsBlue Eyed Ennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181985609681328032noreply@blogger.com
