Bro. Albert



 In the case of Brother Albert, he was again a great man but he was sunfortunately sickly. Here, in Singapore, we couldn't do much for him and so we sent him to the Mayo clinic in the United States where they gave him a metal valve for his heart. On the first of January, on the year that he died, we looked for him aall over the place and we couldn't find him. He was not in his office, not in his room, there were calls from his family from Canada to wish him a Happy New Year and suddenly in the afternoon, one of the afternoon who was living at the house in Kangkar saw a door ajar. She thought she saw on the floor, an American, she said. And when the people came, they saw it was Brother Albert who told the sisters to return to the Community, every morning he would go to off the lights and every evening he would go to put it on. And he died suddenly with his hand grasping his heart. It's only when we exhumed him three years ago, we found that the valve was intact. - Interview with Bro. Emmanuel 2007
