It was a blessing to meet Fr. Roel.
I always take into account the people that I meet in life, their personal philosophies and their attitude towards things. Fr. Roel is a person whom I connected to not only because of similarities in faith, but similarities in history--family, friends, and Bohol. Father Roel , from getting to know him, is a kind and soft hearted soul with loyalty to his friends and loved ones. His story of how he was visiting a good friend of his touched me to the core--and it reminded me of the necessity in keeping close with those whom you love: family, close friends.
The deeper message that he left with him, not by his words, but by his actions (because Fr. Roel is the type that leads by example and not just by talk--is this: To love continuously even when others do not.)
I met Fr. Roel, by God's Grace, in the beginning of August. I also met another priest, another Catholic priest (evangelist) from Spain during the wedding anniversary party of Mrs. Fiel Angeli Arao-Gabin. A two-fold message from God. Again, the same message was conveyed.

Hoping to see you again soon, Fr. Roel. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless you, guide you, and protect you. You are loved by many!
In Christ,
