Sebastian Arcos Bergnes: The Passing of an Exemplar

Sebastian Arcos Bergnes represented the best in the Cuban nation. He fought tyranny for over four decades, and gave his life in that struggle. He stood up for human dignity and human rights never compromising either. When hearing of his passing the words of Christ came to mind in his beatitudes:

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Sebastian Arcos Bergnes who was persecuted for his righteousness, condemned for being a peacemaker, and never yielded in the essential ideas of dignity and liberty.

We wish to express our condolences and offer our prayers for Sebastian Arcos Bergnes and to his family on this sad occasion.
