I remember talking on a thread about a black squirrel in NYC as my husband and I drove through...
Here it is. I was looking for it as well.

:pray::pray::pray:

I'm certainly going to miss his presence on this forum. Seeing as I do not live that far away from NYC and that he had once posted about being willing to meet up with people from the forum irl there, I was considering taking him up on that but never got around to it. Getting to meet him probably would have been the only reason I would go to NYC these days, with how draconian it's become I never want to set foot there again. He must have shone like a bright light in that dark place, now NYC has one less good soul among its immense sea of bad ones. I didn't even know him that much, but I almost always appreciated what he had to say.

Did some digging. Here's him discussing the miracle that happened to him:

Although I did not get to meet him in this world, I hope that I may meet him in the next.


May the angels lead thee into Paradise; may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming, and bring thee into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of angels receive thee, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, mayest thou have eternal rest.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Thank you, St Louis, there was another post as well that went into more detail.  He wrote it years back.  When I have time to root though I’ll try to look it up, but he said that it was first time visiting an SSPX chapel, that when the priest held up the host after the consecration, it lit up (I thought he said like the sun), and that he was struck and looked around in wonder to see if other people saw what he did, but there were no reactions from others that would have led him to believe people saw the host as he had.  He then continued going to the SSPX after that, I believe.

I saw that his last post was mid-afternoon on 11/29 and then he passed away the next day.  So it would appear to have been unexpected.

It seems like he was a contemplative soul. Immediately, this excerpt from De Trinitate came to mind:

Quote
need we be surprised if God produces visible and sensible effects as he pleases in sky and earth, sea and air, to signify and show himself as he knows best, without the very substance of his being ever appearing immediately manifest, since it is altogether changeless, and more inwardly and mysteriously sublime than all created spirits?
