As our Worldwide Marriage Encounter movement states – “There is a new world somewhere they call the Promised Land.”

Dear Nella and Family.
I a member of the Missionaries of the Poor, share our deepest condolences to Nella and the family of the passing away Tony. You all are remembered in our prayers. Tony had been one of the good friends and supporter of the Missionaries of the Poor community in Jamaica and all over the world MOP missions that is funded by Fr. Richard Ho Lung MOP. He had visited us in Jamaica participated in our service to the least of our brothers and sisters for many many years until he could not make it due to his medical difficulty. Nevertheless, his family members have continued till today their support for our poor brothers and sisters.
As the Book of Wisdom 3 says “the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and no torment will ever touch them” (Wisdom 3: 1). Again, Psalm 41 says “Blessed is he who considers the poor, the Lord delivers him in the day of trouble” (Psalm 41: 1). Furthermore, in the gospel of John 11, Jesus says “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me though he shall die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). Yes, Tony was a good and righteous man who had proved his love by his support for the least of our poor brothers and sister who have no one to care for. Thus, he has truly fulfilled the two Great Commandments of Christ. Because Tony loved his beloved Savior Jesus above all else whom he found in the suffering and brokenness of the poor and there made his commitment to care for them in the way he could best. For these reasons, we have witnessed his life lived as the true child of God. Therefore, although we feel the sadness and loss because of his passing away from our midst yet, we have faith and full confidence in the Love of God our Father, who loves his son Tony dearly and has called him to himself. He will raise Tony in Christ Jesus his beloved Savior and grant him the greatest reward of the eternal and glorious life of heaven where there is total peace and joy. Hence, we celebrate the new life of Tony who follows his resurrected Shepherd and Lord Christ Jesus all eternity.
May his soul rest in Peace.
My deepest sympathies to the family.
From The Cordi Family. (Late daughter of Paolo and Elvira Cordi)
