Having been with him and his family during these holy days of the feast of his dying, it is only now that I have a moment to reflect and write these few notes here. Thanks be to God.

Christ is Risen!
How superabundantly gracious is the Lord Jesus Christ! He has given me a double-Pascha this year. The first one in common with the entire Church, bearing witness to the excruciating and life-giving death of the Lord Jesus, and the second one in a quite similar mystery with one of my dying parishioners. He fell asleep at the age of 91 years on Bright Thursday and was just laid to rest this morning, on the Monday of the Week of Thomas, the patron of our holy church-temple. May his memory be eternal!
