Late Jesuit: “He Did Not Baptise My Son”
Jesuit Father Joaquín María García de Dios Domínguez, 90, died on April 15 in Salamanca, Spain.
He worked in education and as an editor. Carmen Soler wrote the following about him in a La VozDeGalicia.es (April 18) obituary:
“Joaquín baptised me in a stone fountain in a garden, I fell asleep every night of my childhood to a lullaby he composed for me, he gave me my first communion on a stone table in the same garden, he never heard my confession because he taught me that sins were an invention.
He travelled to marry me and entertain me with the best of his homilies, and he did not baptise my son because he preferred to wait until he was older. I knew that waiting would mean that he would not baptise him, so I insisted on baptising him as a baby but there was no convincing him. Again, teaching me what the end is, the meaning of our actions.
-Joachim, does heaven exist?
-It depends on what you mean by heaven, I believe in heaven as a state of eternal peace.”
