(From Brother André Marie)
At about 9:00 AM this morning, Saturday, September 9, our beloved Superior, Brother Francis, M.I.C.M., went to his reward.
Brother had received Holy Communion this morning, and a few hours later quietly slipped away with little warning. His death was very peaceful. We, his religious family, are greatly consoled by the fact that our teacher, guide, and friend died on the First Saturday of the Month, wearing the Brown Scapular to which he was so greatly devoted, with a candle burning neaby before an image of his beloved Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
We are grateful to all those who prayed for Brother and had Masses offered for him during his final illness.
Information on the funeral arrangements is forthcoming.
Readers may recognize Br. Francis as one of the original members of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary founded by Fr. Leonard Feeney in 1949. Br. Francis was one of the four Boston College professors who brought the charge of heresy against the school for teaching salvation outside the Church, the famous "Boston Heresy Case." Brother (Prof. Maluf) suffered for his courage, while Boston College has sunk even deeper into heresy, filth and whatnot. For more on his life, click here.
May the Angels lead you into Paradise; may the Martyrs receive you at your coming, and take you to Jerusalem the holy city. May the choirs of the Angels receive you, and may you, with the once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting.
