Message sent to CL on the occasion of Fr. Giussani death by Most Rev. Ignatius A. Kaigama
Dear Father Carrón: Anna Maria in Lagos informed me by e-mail of the passing away of Don Giussani on February 22, 2005. I wish to send you and the members of Communion and Liberation my heartfelt condolences on the passing away of this great man of God, with my assurance of prayers that the Lord will grant him eternal rest and happiness. The immense contributions of Don Giussani to humanity can only turn our hearts in gratitude to God for a life well lived. His writings in the areas of spirituality, theology, education, etc., have been cherished by many all over the world. May the Lord grant him eternal reward and may the fruits of his labors continue to bear fruit. It is my hope that we shall all carry on with his ideals, his exemplary life of holiness and continue to foster all the good things he lived and worked for. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
Yours fraternally,
Most Rev. Ignatius A. Kaigama, Archbishop of Jos
