[Sundaycommunity] Slides of Lucia

[Ron MacDonell]

Dear friends,



Thank you, Maryanne and Roberto, for the slideshow with the beautiful
photos of Lúcia and friends. I met Lúcia only once in person when I visited
her at St. Michael’s Hospital in March 2024. I was very impressed with
Lúcia’s vivacious spirit, her gusto for life and her sharing about her
translation work (as I linguist, I was very interested in this!), her
courage in facing the struggle with cancer and above all, her faith. We
prayed together that day. Today, I remembered Lúcia in my Masses, here in
Boa Vista, in Roraima Diocese, in the northernmost part of Brazil.

 Lúcia embodied the Brazilian spirit of reaching out, of being “
*comunicativa* – “communicative” – a descriptor used often here in Brazil
to describe someone who takes the initiative and makes people feel
welcomed, recognized, respected, loved.

Indeed, Jesus' words in today’s Gospel speak aptly about Lúcia: *“**The
spirit of the Lord has been given to me, for he has anointed me. He has
sent me to bring the good news to the poor….”*

Lúcia truly lived the Good News. Rest in peace, Lúcia, in God’s eternal
abraço!

Com carinho,

Ron/Ronaldo
