Dear Friends,
We are saddened by the loss of our dear friend Padre Pascual
Rosales. His love for Jesus was evident
in everything he lived and accomplished in the Sierra Madre Mountains of
Mexico. A few of you shared the
privilege of meeting Padre, many more have heard us speak of his work, and may
share our sense of profound loss in a life beautifully lived as testimony to
Christ.
Padre was one of those men that words struggle to describe;
he possessed a quite calm, a loving determination that erased all but the truth
in every circumstance. He was a friend
to all from the barely clothed children that came to his school for life
changing opportunity to the Presidents of Mexico. Humility as a living testimony gave far
reaching effect to his passion to serve the down trodden and reach the lost.
The inspiring example set by Padre as a follower of Jesus
touched all who met him and encouraged each of us as well to lay down our
lives, pick up our cross and follow Him.
He was a true and faithful man of God, a man of inspiration that shared
the Good News as a living word of truth and light in a dark and desperate
world.
Padre will be deeply missed in his being with us, yet his
spirit will continue to inspire as glory to God for many generations to
come. His often spoken farewell, “we
will continue to work together in the Spirit of Christ” blesses and challenges
each of us follow in the steps of Jesus.
May you rest in peace Padre as we celebrate the extraordinary example of
a life well lived. A life that calls us
to love and serve with intention and purpose as you lived and gracefully taught
each one of us. Gracias Senor por Padre
Pascual, mucho gracias.
Our love and thanks for each one of you. In Christ,
Tom and Collette Beytien
