I bet Father Basil was as happy that you managed to visit him, Eagle. Did you get the chance to meet up with the rest of those at your former Parish as well? Father Louis?
You must feel the way I did when I met Pope John Paul II. One does draw spiritual inspiration from the extraordinary dignity and holiness of individuals who bear up with such fortitude of faith despite their infirmities. And, we can only be blessed to have been given the opportunity to have had the chance to be witness to it.
We had the relics of St Theresa Liseux over here and I thought of you a lot and offered a prayer for your personal petitions.

I just wanted to post an update that Fr Basil Carew passed away on Christmas Eve. He passed very gently and peacefully. Although it's sad to see him go, his life was such an inspiration and his wisdom so profound, that he will live on forever, not only in my heart and life, but in every heart and life he ever touched with his care and kindness. Thank you Basil.

Dotsie, that was the first thing I thought when I heard the news, that Christmas Eve seems like the perfect time for Basil to have gone Home to celebrate Christmas. I'm not sure why, but I feel more joy than sadness.

I'm not sure why, but I feel more joy than sadness. May father Basil rest in peace...And may he also be a source of comfort and strength to you in the "busy" days ahead.

He's still here, I can sense his presence so strongly it takes my breath away. It's a profoundly spiritual presence, radiating light, calm, comfort and gentle joy...and softly whispering such heart-lifting words..."embrace your life, it's all gift", "be still and KNOW", "He [God] delights in your every breath, because every breath is a whisper of His love flowing through you"...this has been going on for two days now, and throughout the night...it's so rich and full and moving and filling. I'm just letting it all soak me in the Father's love.
