To the untrained ear “it’ll be fine” may sound trite, a way to brush aside worries. But I knew in my heart that was Father Gus-speak for saying, “I’m on it – I’m praying for you and you must believe things will work out the way they’re supposed to. Just trust in God and don’t worry.” And I believe everyone who knew Father Gus, knew his “speak” as well.
Father Gus had a way of making everyone he connected with feel that they alone held a special place in his heart. And that is as remarkable as he was.
