Ms. Lissy Innocent, UPSA at St. Thomas' HSS, Poonthura lost her beloved husband JOHN BOSCO, 46 yesterday night. He was on some family matters when he collapsed on the way. His little son Job was with him at his final moments. The smart little child tried his best to help the suffering father by rushing home to reach the inhaler in time. By the time the child reached Bosco seemed to have collapsed. On reaching him to the hospital, he was declared dead! It must be a sudden and massive attack! May his good soul rest in Peace!
Bosco is survived by his beloved wife, Lissy Innocent, little children Job and Anne. It won't easy for them to cope up with this great loss for quite some time. This is the time they need our support most by way of prayer and presence. I was surprised to see not many of our teachers for the funeral at 4,30 p.m at Vettucaud church! May be that most of us have already visited and consoled Lissy teacher during the day.
Let us make it a point to be present at such moments of great loss and pain. That was what Jesus did when he came to grieved home of Martha and Mary at the loss of their beloved brother Lazarus. Jesus shared their grief by weeping with them. What more can we do than this consoling and comforting presence?
God needs people like us to comfort his children in trouble. Shall we be ready for that great cause? That is Jesus' way and that certainly is God's way too. While praying God to support Lissy teacher and children, let us allow ourselves to be used by God for this great cause. May the good God grant Bosco eternal rest and his family comfort, consolation and strength.
