Curia OCD
Roma (01-02-2009).- On Saturday January 10 the Blessed Virgin carried off her faithful servant. He was a Carmelite from the Venice province. Born in Trentino, Italy, August 6, 1935. Both in his Carmelite province and in the Teresianum, Rome, his life was taken up with teaching and formation. He had studied for a license in theology and philosophy, culminating in a doctorate in philosophy and letters from the catholic university, Milan. He had been Master of students at our International College and later superior of the OCD Interprovincial House. He also spent about two years in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He returned to the Teresianum, Rome, in 1993. As a secretary to the faculty he was always punctual and obliging. He also became the bursar of the same institute. From 2000-2006 he was the rector. In the last years of his life he struggled physically and spiritually with a malignant cancer. He was a great admirer of the Focolari movement.
Fr. General presided at his solemn requiem in the chapel of the Teresianum. He said that as a formator during the troublesome years after the Council Fr. Dario Cumer showed a creative spirit, always working to develop the authenticity of the human person. In his last years he had become spiritually very mature. In his own gentle way he pointed to what really mattered.
