From the homily of Father Jean-Louis Lignon =
"Our brother Georges Cros has always sought to communicate this good news with
best ways that the modern world has at its disposal,
Always demanding the tools to make communication more effective and better received the message.
Looking at the ministry of our brother Georges Cros, we remember that one day the Lord will ask us this gospel account that we need not keep but expand. For by the words of a man that spreads the word of God.
As Georges Cros, which in his way, his personal temperament, reiterated the Word of God, we
, we also find the words of our time are seen in our social environment, to always look
to say those immortal words, words that match today today's culture!
Jesus Christ said today in our language of rights: it
lend us our intelligence, our heart speaks to his gospel,
always announces new, always good news?
(...) Joy is the sign of the gospel.
When God communicates with our human words, we might believe
unworthy of such a delegation
but, like Jesus to Peter, then he tells us: "Fear not!"
and some have even heard the following:
"I will make you a fisher of men ..." Word
repeatedly relayed by our brother George.
(...) A spiritual nourishment that fed the life of our brother George with his demands:
meditation on the Word of God in prayer, does not it was an oblate of St. Benedict in Calcat ? -
to then be able to submit to the will of God in the apostolic action. Match
and what God expects of us, as George tried to do during his ministerial life, is not it
communion with the Father, through Christ, the Holy Spirit? "
