Fr. Norman Weslin has passed away
America's Party News ^ | May 17, 2012

Posted on 05/17/2012 7:52:01 AM PDT by EternalVigilance

From Randal Caffery:

Tom,
 
Raymond Soileau just informed me that Fr. Norman Weslin died yesterday, 5/16 about 7:30pm.  He had been suffering with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.  He was living in Traverse City, Michigan.  He was married before becoming a priest (was in the Army I think) and his wife is from Michigan so I'm sure he'll be buried with his wife.  She died from a drunk driver hitting their car.  He was arrested in the Notre Dame / Obama scandal which I think you may have seen it first hand.  Raymond tells me some of the America's Party leaders knew him.
 
If you could, pass it on to the group.

Thanks for posting. We New York Lambs of Christ are devastated by our loss and Heaven’s gain.

We will never forget your friendship, your spiritual and active leadership, your words and your example.

Today at the Rochester church, aptly named Our Lady of Victory, he led us from to pray the Rosary at Planned Parenthood and return for Mass and Confessions, the St. Thomas More Lawyer’s Guild is celebrating Mass with a talk on Religious Liberty.

Imagine he died three years to the day of his arrest at Notre Dame. Who will risk arrest protesting Sibelius at Georgetown???

” Father Weslin also gave us one more “divine set-up” by dying on the eve of the Ascension into Heaven of Jesus.”

Father always told us: “We win!!!

“When the time comes, as surely it will,

When we face that awesome moment, the final judgment,

I’ve often thought, as (Bishop) Fulton Sheen wrote,
that it is a terrible moment of loneliness.

You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God
- and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine.

But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone.

I think there be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world - and they will plead for every one who has been in this movement.

They will say to God ‘Spare him, because he loved us.’
And God will look at you and say not `Did you succeed?’
But `Did you try?’

~~Congressman Henry Hyde

I thought you all would like reading Father’s remarks after his arrest at Notre Dame.

Thank you for letting me know.

From the Cayce Readings [Ca’R’ings]:

... pray oft for those who have passed on. This is part of thy consciousness... Those who have passed through God’s Other Door are oft listening, listening for the voice of those they have loved in the Earth...
(Ca’R’ing 3954-1)

Keep praying!
