The Very Reverend Louis Jacquier, O.S.F.S. During The waning days aT lasT summer God saw TiT To summon To His presence one oT His priesTs, Louis Jacquier. The summons was swiTT, and his response was swiTT, as becomes a soldier. For FaTher Jacquier was indeed a soldier, a capTain among Those who do ceaseless baTTle againsT The powers oT darkness on a baTTleTield ThaT embraces The world and Transcends The cenTuries. RegreTs and grieT are Tor Those oT us, his colleagues and his Triendsd whom he has leTT wiThouT his sTrong supporT. No grieTs, no regreTs had he, For more Than TorTy- seven years he had borne The burden oT The priesThood: he had known The Trials, The grieTs, The TempTaTions, The loneliness which only a priesT aT God can lcnow, He had lcnown Them and he had Triumphed over Them. He had Toresworn home and counTry and, armed wiTh divine TaiTh and The grace oT God, he had in company wiTh Three oTher priesTs oT his naTive land esTablished an impcrishable monumenT among on alien people. For while a son oT Salesianum lives, while The CaTholic and Salesian principles he and his associaTes spenT Them-elves To Teach Their boys sur- vive, his memory among men will survive. BeTore Goa his place is assured. IT he were To pronounce his own eanapl- if m'ghT well be The Tri.mphanT cry aT The greaT SainT Paul, l have ToughT T56 gooa iignh I have Tinshea my course, l have l1epT The FaiTh.l
