Our Lady of the Annunciation came to collect our dear Brother Jean-Pierre-Marie-Rosins, Thursday 25 March 2021 at 3:05pm, a time he loved so much following a daily Rosary at the Lourdes grotto during the hour of Divine Mercy.
His carers had told us the previous day that he may not last the night and we were able to keep vigil with him in hospital until his last moments on earth. Brother SĂ©verin-Marie and Brother Bernard-Vianney were by his side as he breathed his last peacefully while being taken care of by hospital staff.
Our brother had celebrated his 80th birthday on 24 January. He entered the Community in 1992 on the advice of Mgr Brincard, with his Simple Profession taken the 23 January 1994, followed by his Perpetual Vows on 16 February 1997 at La Chaise-Dieu.
It was also at La Chaise-Dieu priory that he was ordained deacon 19 June 1999, a place he was very attached to having spent 8 years there from 1993-2001, before being sent to Jaumes (2001-2014) and finally Saint-Savournin (since 2014) where he will be laid to rest until the Resurrection.
May Our Lord shine on his countenance and welcome him into His heavenly home with the Virgin Mary.
Please pray for him and the brothers of Saint-Savournin who were with him so beautifully to the end.
Funeral
After he is laid to rest, our brother’s body will arrive Firday 26 March at the church of Saint-Savournin. The funeral Mass will be held there Saturday 27 March at 2:30pm.
