SPONSORSHIP SPEECH: RESOLUTION ON FR. JOAQUIN BERNAS
March 8, 2021
There are a lot of impressions, or should I say misconceptions, people have about lawyers. Whether these were caused by television shows, movies, or sometimes first-hand experiences, there are some negative opinions about them.
(Story about a man's tombstone) I'm reminded of a story of a man happened upon a tombstone that read: "Here lies John Smith, a good man and a lawyer." The man read it and asked: When did they start putting two people in one grave?
However, this was not and had never been the case for Father Joaquin Bernas. He had a strong sense of morals and ethics. He was humble. He was calm. He exuded authority even in his silence. How could someone so endearing - because of his gentleness, and kind and empowering words - can be conceived as unkind? Surely not Father Bernas.
