Today I dedicate my blog to Fr. Macky.
Rev.Fr. Gerardo Macapinlac, SDB, present rector of the provincial house of the Philippine Northern Province and provider of the material needs to the houses of the province, died after a car accident in Hua Hin, Thailand. He had just finished a Salesianity seminar together with other Salesian fathers and brothers from our and neighboring provinces. Let us pray for his eternal rest.
I am sure this seminar has helped him to know Don Bosco and the Salesian charism more profoundly and certainly Don Bosco has been there in heaven to welcome Macky to the Salesian heavenly garden.
Macky has always been a good man. Death did not give him any advice, she came unexpectedly. But for us, members of the Salesian family, who make every month the exercise for a Happy Death, death may come without previous advice because every month we get ready to welcome her. Macky had finished his monthly day of recollection few days before his death. This event tells us that he was ready to welcome death.
Let us learn this beautiful lesson from Macky. Let us make well every month the wise exercise given to us by St. John Bosco, the exercise for a Happy Death. This exercise will help us to be always ready to welcome death. Laging handa!
he alone knows his plans for us. . . everything is according to his plan in his own time.
ReplyDeleteIt is precisely because we do not know God's plan for us that we have to be always ready and open to what God has in store for us. Always ready to meet Him. Thanks for your comment.
