Fr Xavier
While I was away in the Cook Islands, I heard the tragic news that my good friend in India, Fr Xavier, had been killed in a car crash along with his brother. I was, and am, completely devastated by this. Fr Xavier was a wonderful man - intelligent, wise, compassionate, funny, and spent his life in the service of others. His brother was married with three young children. My thoughts and prayers are with their family, friends, and the community in India where I was given such a wonderful home away from home. RIP Fr Xavier. You are greatly missed.

Suze, there was no easy way to break this tragic news to you. Who would have thought that when you left India and said goodbye to Xavier, you wouldn’t see him again. Along with the family and community of your dear friend Fr. Xavier, you were in our thoughts and prayers and we felt for you being alone and somewhat isolated at this sad time.
Love & miss you lots.

Hey Suzanne,
I’m thinking of you - and in the week of the feasts of All Saints and All Souls I will say a prayer for Fr Xavier, his brother, his family and you at mass this evening.
God Bless,

Suze: I can only imagine how you felt when you heard the sad news, and I think we all
wanted to be there to give you a hug.
What wonderful memories you must have of your time in Bangalore, and I’m sure Fr. Xavier is watching over you as you continue your travels. All my love, - miss you lots.

So sorry that you’re having to deal with this so far away from everyone. Have only just been able to catch up with your blog after major internet access problems. Love you and miss you lots and thinking about you.
