Sad loss 痛失



天主忠信的仆人王淇友,在25/1/2013 早上大约8:45,安详的在吉隆坡中央医院,蒙主恩召,离开了这个世界,享年53岁。

他是一位好丈夫,尽职的父亲,可信靠的朋友。

他也一位忠贞的圣母军友,活跃的甲洞『圣爱堂』教友。虽然是一位长期借助机器洗肾的病患,但在团体及堂区需要他的时候,绝不退缩的站出来,奉献本来是储存给自己备用的那一点点精力,牺牲贡献,发出那一份光,照亮他人。

『圣爱堂』建堂筹款活动,就可以看到他的落力及带动。今天那座崭新的教堂,给已亡的淇友兄弟,留下来一个印证,也成为他的家人及朋友,缅怀他传奇的永久纪念。

据知他也曾为其他堂区作出了鲜为人知的其他类别奉献。

在最近的六个月里,他的身体出现了并发状况,进进出出医院,不计其数。除了肉体的痛苦,精神的折磨更是严重。

面对长期洗肾,心脏弱化,导致脚部血管不流通,也因而需接受一条腿下部截肢的命运。但是,他没有抱怨,没有嘶喊,没有怨天尤人,一切都默默地承受。病痛折磨了他的肉身,但绝不能挫折到他的坚强意志及信仰。他把一切奉献给天主,常常祈祷,默默的忍受,保持积极的心态。

医院的护理人员都对他表示敬意,称他是最良好的病人。今天我到设置在他家的灵前哀悼时,他的太太美珍告诉我,医院有两位护士特地来到灵前,给他献上鲜花,以表哀痛及敬意。

很多人为他的逝世,深表哀痛。

我们谨为他的灵魂而祈祷,愿主怜悯,让他的灵魂早日安息主怀,享受天主无际的大爱。

“这场仗,我已打完; 这场赛跑,我已跑到终点;这信仰,我已保持了。(弟後4:7) 

“好,善良忠信的仆人!。。进入你主人的福乐吧!” (玛25:23)

淇友兄,我们天乡再见!

Francis Ong passed away peacefully at about 8:45 am at Hospital Kuala Lumpur on 25/1/2013 at the age of 53.

He is a good husband, dedicated father, confidant to many. He is also a legionary, active member of Jesus Caritas Church, Kepong. Although himself a long term dialysis patient, but when he is needed by the community and the parish, he will stand out, offering his limited energy for the service of the people and community.

He was actively involved in the fund raising project of the new Caritas Church. The now in use new church told a touching story of his tireless effort and motivation towards the success of this building project.

The new church is a testimony of his effort and sacrifices. It also served as a memorial of him for his family, friends and co-workers.

It was believed that he had also contribution in other forms towards other churches. 
 
For the past 6 months, he suffered health complications, in out Hospital uncountable times.

Besides Physical pains, mental sufferings were more unbearable. 

Long term dialysis weakened him physically, thus affected his heart too. Due to blocked blood flow to his toes, he had an amputation of his lower section of a leg two month before his death.

He uttered no complaint, no shouting and cursing no one. Illnesses ravaged his body but not his faith and spirit. He bore his suffering quietly, maintaining a positive attitude, 

He offered all his sufferings to God, pray unceasingly and living each day with hope. The nursing staff and patients were touched by his positive spirit.

This morning, 2 Malay nurses from the hospital brought flowers to the wake to pay respect to him. 

He is sadly missed by many.

" ...... I have fought the good fight to the end;  I have run the race to the finish, I have kept the faith...(2 Tim 4:6)

" Well done, good and faithful servant! ..... Come and join in your master’s happiness!’" (Matt 25:23)

Francis, may your soul rest in peace through the mercy of the Lord.
