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
