Words reflect like the night moon light
Action shines like the bright sun light
His example of loving presence is like the
rainbow in the sky
His witness to Christ is like that of a
peaceful dove on this earth
Dear
Friends, these lines are dedicated to Rev. Fr Felix Fernandes SDB a person
personified with practicality and prudence of mind and heart. His presence
reminds me of purposeful-purpose filled living – the WHY of every moment…His
passion & zeal for duty is seen and known in his commitment to duty and the
task assigned to him in fulfilling them diligently and dutifully. His
compassionate way of understanding the other is seen in the way he listens and
the way he speaks, with respect for the other and calmness in his speech and
language.
As a
Salesian Religious Priest he is a model of PRAYER – man of God, 24 X 7
spiritually filled, spiritually gifted, spiritually graced, and spiritually
enlightened. When I look him walk in a very swift and yet serene way I am
reminded of 3 D’s – Dutiful, Dedicated & Disciplined. His beliefs are experienced in
his convictions and commitments. I believe that he is a man with wisdom and
insight, with stewardship – leadership quality. Don Bosco’s phrase keeps
recurring in my mind in the person of Fr Felix,”in loving kindness yet firm, win the hearts, win their souls.” He
has a listening heart which has the depth of truth, honesty, and concern for
the other. He is a caring and loving person this can be seen in his etiquette
and his manner. A person who’s life is well integrated with that of simplicity
(his dressing style – kurta, pants & sandals), and generosity (always
giving whatever anyone ask). Not to forget he is genuine thinker & gem Reflector (this I have experienced in his classes & his scholarly articles).
Stay with him...talk to him...you will definitely experience the Spirit of God.
A Religious person, A Realistic person, A Relational person
For me he is
a spiritual father – a spiritual friend
He is 19 years a PRIEST, 25 years a PROFESSED RELIGIOUS SALESIANS & 39 years LIVING WITH DON BOSCO - Grateful Giving
A Blissful
smile always present on his face reflects the holiness of this man.
GOD BLESS U !!!
