Saintly Bishop Bids His People Goodbye at End of Mass and Dies Shortly After

Brazil.  [kreuz.net]  This Saturday the emeritus Bishop Maneul Pestana Filho (82) of Anápolis died shortly after the celebration of Holy Mass.  According to data from 'kathnews.de' he said at the end of Mass:  "This is my last Holy Mass on Earth, the next will be in Heaven."   The Bishop was ordained in 1952.  In 1978 John Paul II named him the Bishop of Anápolis.  In 2004 he retired for reasons of age.  Bishop Pestana has shown himself to be right believing and supported Germany's Persecuted "Engelwerk".
