To Fr Thomas' family:
I was both shocked and saddened to learn of Fr Thomas' death. He worked with me for two years in England when I was Parish Priest of St Martin de Porres in Luton, where he was loved for his kindness and unfailing good humour. May God give him the reward which he has earned.
'The virtuous man, though he die before his time, will find rest...He has sought to please God, so God has loved him...for grace and mercy await the chosen of the Lord.' [Wisdom ch.4]
My prayers are not only for Fr Thomas but also for his family that God may bring them His comfort at this time.
