    In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

    Father Robert, a great humanitarian and exemplary servant of Christ is now in the Kingdom of God and ready to pray for all of us from above.

    May the good Lord grant eternal repose to the venerable Abbot emeritus. All the monks at Holy Cross Monastery Illah-Nigeria are praying for our brothers at Berryville.

    I first learned of Fr. Roberts passing in Oct. of 2018. It is now Oct 2019 and I am still in a state of disbelief. I don’t know who will read this but I can tell you that Fr. Robert was truly a good man. Holy Cross will not be the same with out him.
