The Splendor of the Church Remembers A Great Man of God - MSGR. MOISES ANDRADE

The Late Mosignor celebrating the Sacrifice of the Mass facing the Heavenly Altar. Now he can finally behold the Splendor of God face to face...

Since my childhood I always hear the name of Msgr. Andrade in Radio Veritas and in the mouth of our priests in the parish. They speak of him as a great scholar of Liturgy, one of the few who translated the Liturgy from Latin into Tagalog.

Then from time to time, he was appearing on TV speaking fluently and magnificently, explaining the Sacred Scriptures, Church History, the sayings of the Fathers of the Church and the Devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Msgr. Andrade is equal to none. He was a great teacher, excellent orator, highly erudite yet a very simple and humble man of God.

Now, that he passed away and had returned to the Father's House we entrust his soul to the care of the Merciful High Priest, our Lord Jesus Christ... the God whom he served faithfully until the very end.

Without the great Monsignor our world seems to be lacking but life must go on. Now it is the turn of the young generation to take the torch carried by this beloved shepherd and those before him to bring it to the next generation shining with the light of faith and of truth for the benefit of all.

Requiem eternam dona eis Domine,

et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Requiescat in pace. Amen.
