Abstract: Herman Rasschaert’s obedient submission to God’s will makes him a herald of peace amidst communal violence. Amidst the worldly noise, he listens to God’s voice and acts on it. His pastoral heart is large and open to God and the world. His resolute and bold step to involve in the urgent need of the time in favor of his neighbours culminates in the “shedding of his blood.” His Spirit-enabled capacity to listen to the divine will, i.e., his obedience (hypakoē), is modeled on Jesus Christ’s obedient submission to Abba. Hence, the ultimate disposition is: “Father, not my will but yours be done” (Lk 22:42).
