It’s ok I understand that. I just want him to know that somebody named Malyn is thankful to God for him…that his work has been fruitful and that I admire him…

I haven’t tried the email address myself. Anyway, I know that Fr Reuter is at the twilight of his life, so don’t expect any reply from him directly. But, why not a miracle?!

I am thankful to God for this website. I have never had the privilege of meeting the good priest in person but he has touched my life and spirit in ways that no other friend have. I have been longing to send him a letter. I saw the email given here…has anybody tried it? Is it real? Thanks and God bless us all!

Fr James Reuter has been one of those Jesuit mentors that I considered a “hero” since grade school in the Ateneo. Last time I saw him was in 2001 at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles in an Ateneo Reunion. Was in fact amazed, rather surprised, that he was still very much alive and very much alert (to think that this was 8 years ago).

I remember the gist of what what he said during that reunion – he was effusive in his praise for the Filipinos as being ‘beautiful people’. I remember the voice and the sound and the distinct accent of Fr Reuter – it was indeed him alive – not an impostor.

I have a question to ask: Why do we have to always bring about the subject of Philippine Development, Singapore, Leftists, Foreign Immigration, Diaspora, etc and or anything related to it when talking about Fr Reuter ?

He is a man of God – that is all there is to it – and that is all that really make sense. Anything else other than that identity or reality only dimninishes and stains the sacredness and gravitas of Fr Reuter.

There will always be special people like him – regardless of time, place, nation, politics, economy, wealth and other vicissitudes.

After all, persons like Fr Reuter will be a testimony (at least to me) that God watches over us humans in this imperfedct world.

Sonny,
Thanks for the reminder and the tip of where he can be contacted.
Schumacher is one historian who is more Filipino than many historians.

for frankahilario: another “white man” you might want to include is the eminent historian, Fr John Schumacher, SJ. He resides (last heard) at the Loyola House of Studies, AdeM campus, Quezon City

Peace!
