Good Friday. Homily by the Most Rev Bishop Don Sproxton, Auxiliary Bishop of Perth, St Mary’s Cathedral, Perth, Friday 7 April 2023, Catholic Archdiocese of Perth, https://www.perthcatholic.org.au/Our_Archdiocese-Bishop_Don_Sproxton-Homilies-2023-April-Good_Friday.htm,accessed 23 July 2026:

[...] We have experienced the suffering of family members and friends as they struggled with illness; the horrible war that has brought dispossession and death to thousands of people in Ukraine; and deaths in custody, especially of Aboriginal and Torres Strait people. I will also bring in those prayers Fr Francisco Mascarenhas, who died in India this morning amongst his family. Fr Francisco has been ministering in the Archdiocese for many years until he became ill with cancer. Knowing that his death was coming soon, he was helped to return to his family in Goa.

[...]

Before Fr Francisco returned to Goa, I visited him in hospital and we spoke for some time. He asked me to give him a blessing, and after praying for him to have strength as he faced the last stage of his journey on this earth, I said, "Let us pray that we will see each other in heaven." Francisco answered, "This is our faith and it is what I believe."

The Cross for him, in his illness, pain and discomfort, had become redemptive and glorious, and he triumphed with the faith that had grown within him.
