Fr. Mathew
O Father, you were a true priest—
encouraging, loving, and inspiring.
Even in illness, when your eyes could no longer see,
your heart still reached out to others.
You spent your days asking about friends and
colleagues,
their health, their ministry, their work.
With warm congratulations, gentle thoughts,
and kind words, you lifted spirits.
My own efforts in building academic institutions
were strengthened by your encouragement,
guided by your inspiring voice.
Your words, your calls, your greetings—
they remain fresh in my heart.
I often visited you,
and now those familiar places
feel distant, silent, and far away.
Yet you live on in my thoughts.
The memory of our friendship
will always stay with me.
Goodbye, dear Father.
May the Lord welcome you
into His eternal joy and peace.
