“I think we all have memories, the last time – I usually joke with priests who have beards – I told him: ‘You have a missionary vocation,’ and he told me ‘I’m ready to fly,’” said the Bishop of Aguascalientes.
After remembering his love for motorcycles, Bishop Espinoza highlighted that Father Jaime perhaps “never thought that at high speeds the Lord would call him, burst into his life and call him and take him with Him forever.” “And that is where we have to strengthen our faith, we have to try to understand the events from God’s point of view,” he added.
After highlighting that the priest “was a lover of life and very enthusiastic,” the Bishop stressed that Father Jaime “was young, which surprises and hurts. As a bishop it hurts me, he makes me sad but he also gives me joy because he soon flew to new lands and new skies. He now also accompanies us from heaven and prays with us and for us.”
