Thanks and praiseworthy of each and every one of you

Dear Friends in the Risen Saviour. 
Prayerful greetings and Joy Filled Easter Wishes and Blessings to all of you. 
Before the death of the servant of God Rev. Fr. Ante Gabric used to tell me that His country people would help me for the mission. When I was in Metkovic with Fr. Ante Tustonji the present provincial of ZAGREB  and our Bishop I recall a lady guide who was very active (name not known) took all of us to Fr. Ante Gabric's house, the parish church where Fr.Ante Gabric's statue is placed and many more places and later to a Restaurant for lunch . The Hotel Manager was curious to see me and wants to know who I am. The lady guide told him that he is Fr. Sylvester xavier who looked after Rev. Ante Gabric in the last part of his life. That's all. He kissed my hands and asked me to bless him and all that happened 29 years ago. What a joyful days I had in Metkovic and entire CROATIA. I was ever grateful to everyone. 
Now I am here to thank each and every one of you in front of Jesus.
