Sadly I report that an Austin, TX media outlet has posted that the body of the missing Fr. Eurest has been found.
Please pray for him.

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

How very sad. I’ll pray right now.
I am so sorry to hear this. My condolences to you on the loss of your brother priest.
I will prsy for him now. It has been reported that Father was building his retirement home in Mexico. That once was a very smart thing to do especialy for those whose retirement fund was not overflowing with resources. One could live there in modest circumstances for a lot less money than here in the USA. Tragically with Mexico’s growing drug wars and heavily armed gangs that is no longer the case. Anyone with anything of value above that of the average Mexican citizen is an immediate target for gangs. It appears Father was robbed and then murdered. God rest his soul. If it is any consolation he is now reaping “retirement” rewards for eternity with the Father.
Tragic. May he rest in peace.
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae: vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Amen.
V. Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam ad preces nostras, quibus misericordiam tuam supplices deprecamur, ut animam famuli tui Fr. Eurest, quam de hoc saeculo migrare iussisti, in pacis ac lucis regione constituas et Sanctorum tuorum iubeas esse consortem. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
Requiescat in pace. Amen.
I will pray for the soul of my brother priest.
Blessed repose for the servant of God, the priest, Jesse, and may his memory be eternal!
I offer my prayers through the intercession of St. Jean Vianney.
(My anti-spam was “pray 4 priests.”)
Praying, Fr. Z, for Padre Euresti; for the comfort of his grieving family and his parishioners; and for mercy on the person who ended his life.
Eternal rest grant unto Padre Euresti, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
How sad-especially during this Holy Week.
O Lord, receive Your servant and Your priest into eternal glory.
