I wondered if you could tell me where on the Friar's website I can find the funeral information. I'm living in Ohio right now, so I won't be able to make it to the memorial in Albq. but I might be able to make it to the funeral. Thank you for your help. Natasha
ReplyDeleteThe Friar's website has not yet been updated with info for the NY funeral. It should be posted there soon, when it is I will put it on this site as well.

I met Fr. Robert at a retreat for college students back in about 1997 or so in New York. He opened my eyes to spiritual warfare in a way that no one ever had. In short, it was something I always remembered until my utter surrender to Christ some years later. He sent me home with stories, hope, and blessed salt for my home. I have always remembered him, and I always will. Fr. Robert, you must be praying for me in heaven as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling. I just found out about your passing as I had been searching for you for some time. The news comes at a time when I am trying to make sense of the saints for myself after coming back to the church from protestantism. I know I have a friend in that great cloud of witnesses. Thank you! Praise the Lord of my soul!
ReplyDeleteLast year on the morning of the Pope's election, something extraordinary happened as I said my morning prayers, prayed for Fr. Robert & asked him to pray for me and the church & Franciscan Spirituality. The same day we get Pope Francis. Fr. Robert is working hard from heaven.
