Bidding Farewell to St. Saviour’s, Dublin

Dublin, 15 August 2009

Rev. Father
Anthony Morris, O.P., Prior,
and Community of St. Saviour’s – Dublin

Dear Brothers,

Words cannot fully express my gratitude towards this community, as my departure time quickly approaches. It has been a good six years among you, and I gladly acknowledge I leave Dublin with a wealth of experiences and meaningful memories that will stay with me forever.

Thanks be to God, the original purpose for this time in Ireland has been fulfilled, and my Ph.D. dissertation has now been submitted to Milltown Institute. Hopefully, the whole journey will be completed with the defence of the thesis, currently scheduled for October 22nd.

In a realistic and fraternal way, I also apologise for my faults and shortcomings. I only pray that every blessing from God may come upon this Dominican house of formation, for only He may return your patience and gentle generosity.

With the best of my wishes before the Lord,

Nelson Medina, O.P.
