Rest in peace, dear bishop.
THANK YOU
Dear G12 family and dear friends,
Our beloved Bishop Herley Montes has gone home to the Father — and while our tears are real, our hope is greater.
He ran his race with faith, led with gentleness, and served with a shepherd’s heart. What he poured into us was never just words — it was the very love of Christ, made visible.
So let us not lose heart. Let us honor him not by despairing, but by living what he taught us: to pray with courage, to serve with joy, and to trust that death does not have the final word.
So let us cry if we need to. Let us hold each other a little tighter. And let us keep living the way he lived: with kindness, with laughter, with a heart bent toward mercy.
We are not orphans. We are his legacy — and what a beautiful legacy it is.
He is not lost. He is simply on the other side of eternity, where we will one day gather again — around a table not of farewell, but of reunion.
Until then, let us walk forward — wounded, yes, but never alone. For the Good Shepherd still leads. And so did he.
Rest in peace, dear bishop. And thank you.
Bs Oriel and the G12 team
