Death: A New Beginning
Today I got word that a dear family member passed away. Please offer a prayer for the soul of Dr. William Esser II. I feel blessed to have known him and to have been able to share a few pleasant memories with him. He was a man of impeccable character who devoted his life to serving Christ. Now he is standing before our Lord and King. What joy for him and for all those who have gone before him. My heart is gladdened to think of his beautiful homecoming yet still being human I weep for the lack of his physical presence in my life and for all the other ones he has left behind. However, I have lived through quite a few funerals and it always amazes me how the spiritual body of Christ works. How people pray for one another just at those right moments. At times I can't wait to die to experience this aspect in its entirety in heaven being in full communion with the Mystical Body of Christ. Do not fear death, but rather through our tears rejoice for our New Life that God has chosen for us.

"It is not Death that will come to fetch me, it is the good God. Death is no phantom, no horrible specter, as represented in pictures. In the catechism it stated that death is the separation of soul and body, that is all! Well, I am not afraid of a separation which will unite me to the good God forever." - St. Therese of Lisieux, Counsels and Reminisces.

Posted by: Carlos Arguello M.D. at July 10, 2004 11:46 PMI came to Dr. Esser after having been told by several doctors that I was terminally ill and had only a maximum of two years to live. That was 10 years ago. Dr. Esser was not only a great doctor but a great man. I thank God for knowing him and being influenced by him. May God continue to bless him, eternally. Amen
Posted by: Steve Kennedy at July 22, 2004 9:04 AMDr. William L. Esser. A beloved man of mine. I just read it today of his going. He helped me, when I was ill and I had to fast 14 days on water. I came from Germany to fast with him, because of his calming voice at a telephone Call. I knew, he can take me through this fast. Now IŽm 34 years old and still act like 22, when I came to his Rest Ranch. He was so fit and a good soul. Saludos a Carlos Arguello, IŽdont know if you remember me. I jogged with you barfooded. Dr. William L. Esser told me personally of the accident of my spriritual father Paul C. Bragg at age 97. I will never forget you. I hope you are with your beloved together. Good bye!

I first met Dr. Esser in 1975. Within 2 minutes of talking face to face I said to myself "A VERY powerful man". He saved my life in 1996. I have NO doubt about it. Thank you, SIR.
