Dear Friends

In this Circular we have sad news, the passing away of Andres Eloy Moffie.

I did talk to him through the years by telephone and even visited his town of residence just as his work place, but never had the luck to meet him.

But I met a few times his brother Edgar with whom I had a nice chat and even took photos which were published in past issues.

His last email reproduced below is full of hope for a better future

May he Rest in Peace.

It makes us all pause, reflect and take measure of our lives as well.

Life is so ephemeral.

My condolences to his family,

What sad news.

I did not know Eloy, but our numbers are already fixed and limited, and the loss of each one of us is doubly tragic.

Maggie and my thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time.

Dear Fr. Cuthbert

What a fabulous message, ad I have a lot of "Teacher" and "Religious" friends, so I will certainly pass it on. The Pictures are as meaningful as the words.
Great to hear from you, as you are the last of our Teaching and Spiritual Directors of the Monestary that holds somany wonderful memories and experiances for me (and all those others who passed through the Gates of Pax.
Keep in touch, ur prayers are always there for the Priests and Brothers.

MARY'S LAMB

Think carefully about what you will be reading.

This is a new one for me...

Mary had a little Lamb,

His fleece was white as snow.

And everywhere that Mary went,

The Lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school each day,

T' wasn't even in the rule.

It made the children laugh and play,

To have a Lamb at school.

And then the rules all changed one day,

Illegal it became;

To bring the Lamb of God to school,

Or even speak His Name!

Every day got worse and worse,

And days turned into years.

Instead of hearing children laugh,

We heard gun shots and tears.

What must we do to stop the crime,

That's in our schools today?

Let's let the Lamb come back to school,

And teach our kids to pray!

To finish this Circular I have included photos taken by Roberto Bodignton, some without the necessary names.

Please send in your comments so that I may place names to the faces.

God Bless
