Thoughts & Reflections

Rev. FR. Bishoy Wassef was called to the priesthood after several years as a specialist medical physician. He served the community of Toowoomba and the Darling Downs and is still remembered with great esteem by his patients and medical colleagues alike. Sami, as he was known here, in his role as a healer of the body, always showed a respect and love for the Lord and his patients. Imagine the fullness of a life wherein he was called to serve in a healing ministry of the body, and then to be called to a healing and pastoral role for souls within his branch of Christ’s vine. I am sure I speak for the medical profession in Toowoomba when I say that we were all the richer for having Rev.Dr./Fr. Wassef in our midst

To my dearest Abouna Bishoy.
I know you are watching us from heaven. I feel your spirit surrounding us and I know that even though you have passed in flesh you are present in spirit guiding us. You have been a light and true reflection of our Lord Jesus Christ. You welcomed us into your church and even though we were only here for a short time with you we are overwhelmingly blessed with your love, compassion, kindness, and service. You made it so easy for all of us sinners to feel the warmth, love and embrace of Christ. You did not withhold those who were longing for the Body and Blood of Christ from communion because they haven’t confessed or weren’t fasting. You knew our mortal weaknesses and you prayed for us and forgave us and welcomed us to that mysterious unity with our Lord. You were and still are the true embodiment of Christ. Christ who allowed the sinful woman at the well to be blessed and forgiven and to go preach His Holy name as we all here are today preaching your love and goodness to all who was ever knew you. And those who didn’t. How fortunate are to have lived with a saint among us. There are no words to truly convey the love I have for you in my heart.
For Tasoni, Peter, Andrew and John thank you for sharing your husband and father with us all. He lives on in you. Thank you for being lights in your ownselves and sharing that spirit with us. We see Abouna through your eyes and your love.
Abouna has won the race! How lucky are you Abouna. You are where we are all longing to be. Pray for us until we meet again in the kingdom of our Lord.

استعجلت الرحيل يا ابونا الحبيب، ذرفت الارض دموعا لفراقك بالجسد عنا، وتهللت السماء بقديس جديد وكاهن عظيم.
الراحة الابدية اعطه يا رب ونورك الدائم ليشرق عليه.
مع المسيح ذلك افضل ، يسوع يعزي قلوب محبيك ،وعائلتك وشعبك، والى اللقاء ابونا الغالي…
