Mon, I will pray for you intently when I go to Mass daily this coming week. I am sorry I could not see you when I went to Manila last February because you were out in San Pedro. But your sufferings are over now!!! I know you are now in the company of St. Vincent and the Good Shepherd has a special place for you there. Remember us now that you are in paradise.

Kindly extend my condolonces to Mon's wife and his family.
He was a Senior when I was freshman at St. Vincent's Seminary, Valenzuela, Bulacan.
We used to play chess during our free times. He never won a single game.
I already included him in my prayers this weekend.

Death is the only real truth that makes us realize that our existence in this world is not for life, but forever. Because through our death we can only achieve eternity, life-after-death! It’s when we come across the real world that God has promised for those who choose his path! It’s the only moment we experience GOD BEING, when He transforms us into His Being! Only Death can make that happens! Death is just a beginning of eternity!
Mon has chosen that path. That’s why let’s rejoice for he has achieved eternity with God! Brothers and sisters, family of Mon, rejoice for Mon is now with HIM who lives forever in our midst, in our life! Mon, like God, will be always with us. He exists. He doesn’t leave us. In fact and in reality, he is better off than all of us still living temporarily in this world. For now Mon is eternally happy with God! Mon is living, not resting, eternally! Amen.
Mon loves God so much that he deserves His reward – HAPPY LIFE WITHOUT END! Isn’t it wonderful? Indeed! That’s what we are looking forward in this world! So rejoice and let’s be happy with Mon! Let’s Congratulate Mon for he is now with the ONE TRUE GOD, EXPERIENCING LIFE EVERLASTING, WITH HIM IN HEAVEN, HAPPY FOREVER!

Mon,
"May choir of angels welcome you and lead you to the bosom of Abraham; and where Lazarus is poor no longer may you find eternal rest." (from the rite of Christian funeral) Until we meet again brother.

Amen!!! Mon is now HOME with our FATHER.
The stories of Ming, his wife, led me to admire Mon’s strength of faith. As the pain gradually crept and spread and grew throughout his body, his faith just grew stronger and stronger. He never got cranky and instead he even got to crack jokes occasionally. He was always optimistic that things would turn out fine. Ming related that sometime in January, after his second or third long confinement, he insisted on getting married under Catholic rites – his first was a Christian wedding daw – and thereafter they were wed by a Catholic priest. Truly, it was a journey – a painful one but a cleansing one too as the pain brought him closer to HIM. In his last week, Ming said that Mon was already requesting them to pray that God already take him away – probably he was ready.

Congratulations my Brother Mon!! Indeed, we have not lost you but we have only gained an ally in Heaven!!
