Mass and funeral were on Friday, October 25, 2013. They waited until his family flew in from New York on Thursday and flew back on Saturday. I am Bonnie from New York who lives in Acapulco. I just met his niece who had gotten married at the Monastery. I am friends with her mother-in-law and received news of his death on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI met Fr. Pablo a few years back after having first chatted with the Sisters of Charity from Aculpolco., relocated to Worthington Minnesota., to help with the Spanish speaking population. I thought about what he told me over the few years that went by often wondering. Then i heard that he had passed away to his glory times. Some time went by and still pondering on and off., i had asked for his intercession, why not? i figured. I asked him to give me something that would help me to better understand what i was to do about what he had revealed to me and also about that all together. the very next day after mass i went to the public library and their were the same sisters of charity that i had met years ago. And i live quite a ways from Worthington although still in Minnesota. So i asked if he was a mystic during his time here on earth. This nun shook her head none shook her head yesk and we exchanged information. Can anybody help me to locate them?
