Death of a Colleague................


The demise of a colleague, although expected because of so many complications in his health and body was surely be missed by so many of his friends and relatives.

Bro. Cesar Viacrusis, who died last Dec. 3, 2009 and buried Dec. 6, 2009 was a tremendous loss especially to the Palompon Parish Church were he is serving religiously as a member of the Extra-ordinary Minister of the Holy Communion (EMHC).



For those going to Masses daily, he can be seen serving the 5:30am mass without fail, except of course
when he is not feeling well and when it is necessary for him to be brought to the hospital.

But in the last month of his life, he was still given the hope and chance to ask forgiveness for all the sins he has committed and prepare for his homecoming to the Lord's bosom. What a beautiful death. As Jesus Christ Himself promised through St. Gertrude "You may be sure that regarding one who devoutly assist at Holy Mass, I will send him as many of my Saints to comfort him and protect him during the last moments of his life as there will have been Masses which he has heard well". How consoling!
