To the Visitors of the Congregation of the Mission

Dear Brothers

May the grace and peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ fill your hearts now and forever!

I want to thank you for the expressions of solidarity and affection that you have made during this past month of Alfredo Becerra’s illness and recuperation.

Even though brain damage is always something serious, Alfredo is recovering slowly but surely.  This weekend he began to eat solid foods on his own.  Taking away the feeding tubes has definitely made Alfredo look better.

He is still in St. Camillus Hospital, waiting to be transferred to St. John Hospital of the Knights of Malta, where he will be for at least a month, receiving the physical therapy necessary for his recuperation.

He had the joy of the presence of his sister, Virginia, and his brother, Emanuel, for two weeks.  They came from Mexico just to be with him.  They stayed with us here in the Curia and went to the hospital each day to be with Alfredo, encouraging him and assisting him.  It was a pleasure to have them among us.

Besides the members of the Curia, who have been attentive to Alfredo, a group of faithful friends, both priests and laity, have accompanied him constantly.  They have celebrated the sacraments with him, and life as well.  We really do not know how to thank them for so many signs of friendship and solidarity.

I want to repeat the gratitude of the Becerra Family and the members of the General Curia for your prayers and interest in Alfredo’s well being.  I am sure that, with your support, our confrere will soon be back into the exercise of his mission in the Congregation.

Your brother in St. Vincent,

G. Gregory Gay, C.M.
Superior General
