Happy Birthday to Br. Raffaele della Torre

This monring during the Eucharistic celebration, Br. Raffaele said in his homily that when he was studying catechesim the Pastor told him that one must look into the eyes of Jesus, Love as he loved, do as he did and speak as He spoke. The words came from Raffaele's heart as he thanked the Lord for manifold blessings in his life. He thanked the Lord for the grace he received to live the message of the pastor to be Jesus to others. He worked in Thailand for many years and was instrument in implanting the Order there. When he speaks of Thailand his face glows with a light and happiness which cannot be read and sensed by us. He loved to be a Missionary and his heart is full of love for the Missions. We celebrated his birthday by praying for him and in the afternoon a small get together in his honor. In the evening we are preparing Indian food in order to rejoice with him and make him feel a little bit of being Asian. Raffaele is a nice and good brother who can mix with anyone...He always wears a smile which is a million dollar. Let us pray for his animation in Italy and for the gift of good health.
