born in Santiago, Chile November 17, 1980, pre-novice
our Delegation of Chile,
left us today, Monday December 14, 2009.
A few days after returning to Chile for the summer holidays in a relaxing afternoon with his brother's postulate, it disappeared in the waters of a river in Argentina and found dead a few hours later.
He had been admitted a year of novitiate, which was to begin in February.
He had been in Italy in August with fr.Tullio and young Chileans who attended the international meeting in Assisi.
Dear brother and friend,
more I look into your eyes and not find the words with which I would fill this page.
Cry me a heart and I wish I could upset, but I do not know who to take.
I can not do with you, because you liked to swim as much as I like to climb the mountains, and I understand that this time you felt safe.
I can not do with God, he only has the merit of having opened its arms to welcome you and hug you now more than ever.
I can not do with who was there with you today, because you can do to a young nurse bold but responsible as you were.
I do not know who to take and perhaps it is fitting that I start to talk like that, but you know as well as the Bible is full of cries of pain and suffering, and my page is so today, unfortunately.
When we spent the evening talking about how young people are the Chilean and how to set up our activities with them Franciscans, we shared the passion and excitement in the dream of a long and exciting future that we should share in your beloved land. How quickly you had to spend on the welfare and happiness of others!
I still recall a couple of months ago when I passed by you in Argentina: your serenity and your faith, your love and brotherhood to the Franciscan life. I hope that you are above them to accompany us, so that your enthusiasm, passion burn in us. That's what I asked you last night with tears in his eyes, while I was looking for in our night sky in wonder. Even if you can be the future first provincial of Chile, as you hoped in burlesque tone, help us to love this land and this people also in your name.
hug my brother, and father to embrace you with affection Berardo and all our brothers who are already there with you. Hello!
