Farewell

Rest now in God's peace Fr. Lazaro!

We got the news of the passing away of Fr. Lazaro Revilla, SDB this morning. He went back home to Spain some time ago for vacation to meet his family and friends. It was there that our Lord deemed it proper to call him back to His embrace. He was 70 years old.

Now Fr. Lazaro that you have truly returned home... may you enjoy the company of the Master for all eternity. We will miss you but we will also be looking forward to that day when, in God's wonderful time, we will meet again.

Last April 2009, I helped Fr. Lazaro set up this blog. Then I had to leave for Pakistan and he had to do it all on his own. Well, despite his age and sickness---he was able to regularly post something, as his poor health also permitted him, especially on the topics that were closest to his heart--prayer, faith, Don Bosco. He was my tablemate at meal times for more than a year and I consider those moments as precious times to listen to and learn from the experiences of Fr. Lazaro.

Requiescat in pace Don Lazaro!

Melo, SDB
