As we have already advised you through our social network, Fr Federico Ruiz, a Discalced Carmelite, died recently on the morning of the 16th<\/sup> of November, after having suffered from Alzheimer\u2019s for some years.<\/p>\n

Born in Cozuelos de Ojeda, a town in the Province of Palencia in Spain, on the 24th<\/sup> of December 1933, he made his profession on the 31st<\/sup> of July, 1950 and was ordained priest on the 27th<\/sup> of October, 1957.<\/p>\n

By everyone is known the service that Fr. Federico offered to the Order, the Teresian family and the Church, especially through his studies of spiritual theology and, in particular, as an unparalleled specialist in the doctrine and message of St. John of the Cross.<\/p>\n

His funeral was celebrated on the 17th<\/sup> of November in Madrid. From the homily of the Provincial, Fr Miguel M\u00e1rquez ocd, we select the following words: \u201cThus it consoles us to entrust Federico to the bosom of the Little Shepherd Boy, whose wounded heart lies opened by love, to be there, with Him who lives and reigns for ever. And from there, from the side of the encounter and the blessed contentment now accomplished, he would awaken us and make us wise about what matters most, and may he lead us to union with Him, and to communion among ourselves\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
