Palma de Mallorca, February 6 2008.

Queridos amigos cursillistas:

In this moment, our Heart should beat with the feeling and certainty that Love is stronger that death,

 EDUARDO BONNIN AGUILÓ Founder of the Cursillos in Christianity Movement, but besides everything our teacher, brother and friend, has gone to encounter Our Father.  Today, February 6 at 16:00 hours, Eduardo passed away knowing that God Loved him, believing in the resurrection and happy like always, even though not satisfied.

Faithful to Jesus’ Gospel, open to the world’s reality and attentive to all the people around him, has left a legacy of friendship with God and men through the Cursillos in Christianity.

Is now, when we feel the sadness in our heart for having lost someone who we profoundly loved, when our faith makes it certain that Eduardo is extremely happy in the presence of Our Father.  And this, like he would always said, “It’s a reason of great joy”

This Secretariat will try to send this news trough all the mediums at our disposition.  However, we ask that you help us; as Eduardo taught us that things are better done through the Friendship method, distribute this news to all your friends, cursillistas or non-cursillistas that have known Eduardo.

To give farewell to Eduardo the following events are planned:

The viewing will take place at Bon Sosec ( Ctra Palma- Inca km 7'5 - Marratxi) February 7 ,  8 and 9.

 February 12 at 20:00 hours, Eduardo Bonnin’s family and the Mallorcan Diocesan Secretariat cordially invites you to a Funeral Mass at the Cathedral of Palma officiated by Bishop D. Jesús Murgui, Bishop of  Mallorca.

At both the chapel and the Cathedral, before and after the mass, there will be a signing book for all those who wish to sign or leave a message to the family.

We have also created the internet location http://eduardoinmemoriam.blogspot.com for all those who wish to share messages or memories of or with Eduardo Bonnin.  Especially for those that cannot personally attend the services.

When Eduardo visited the prisoners, he called them fortunate and important because in a few hours they would be with the Father.  For us, Eduardo has always been important, but from now on, in our prayers we can ask him to intercede for us to the Father, so that we can continue the evangelization of the world and to make it possible that the maximum number of people find the joy of knowing that God loves them. If Eduardo was able to do all that he did, how much more can he do from heaven.

Thank you Eduardo for making our life better, for helping us be happier and because our lives wouldn’t have the Light of the Gospel if you had not been here! 

DE COLORES Y PARA SIEMPRE!

Even though his departure hurts in the deepest part of our soul, we rejoice that he is already at the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for, as one day Bishop James Tamayo, USA National Secretariat Episcopal Advisor, would say after meeting and conversing with him, “I have met a living saint”.

We invite you to join in prayer so that from heaven, he continues to intercede for us to continue our path towards unity in criterion and fidelity to that true Charism that he lived and taught for more then 63 years, so that the whole world around him could know that God in Jesus Christ loves us.  Let his Humility, Faith and Hope that so characterized him be a guide to continue living and evangelizing through this beautiful Charism.
