CARDINAL
QUEZADA TORUNO WAS A GENEROUS SERVANT OF THE CHURCH
Vatican
City, 5 June 2012 (VIS) - Benedict XVI has sent a telegram of
condolence to Archbishop Oscar Julio Vian Morales S.D.B. of
Guatemala, Guatemala, for the death of Cardinal Rodolfo Ignacio
Quezada Toruno, archbishop emeritus of that metropolitan see.
Cardinal Quezada Toruno died yesterday at the age of 80.
In the
telegram the Pope asks the Lord to grant His peace to a man who
"served the Church with such intensity and generosity during his
pastoral ministry, as guide of the diocese of Zacapa and prelate of
Santo Cristo de Esquipulas, then as archbishop of the metropolitan
see of Guatemala.
"With
faith in the Paschal Mystery of Christ which illuminates moments of
suffering and fills them with hope, and in recollection of a pastor
committed to the mission of evangelisation", the Pope concludes,
"I am pleased to impart my special apostolic blessing to those
mourning such a touching loss".
