Bishop Juan Arzube, Requiescat in Pace
Let us pray for the repose of the soul of Bishop Juan Arzube. As The Tidings reports (click on this post's title), he entered eternal life on Christmas Day, at age 89. His funeral Mass was December 31. He was a priest for 53 years.Cardinal McIntyre ordained himto the priesthood in 1954. Fr. Arzube became an auxiliary bishop in 1971 and headed the San Gabriel Pastoral Region from 1986 to his retirement in 1993.
Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini. Qui fecit caelum et terram.
Our help is in the Name of the Lord. Who made Heaven and Earth.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

This is the bishop who confirmed me.
Recibi la noticia en Ecuador a traves de un correo electronico, considero que hubiera sido mas orgullo para nosotros si usted hubiera senalado el lugar de nacimiento del Obispo Arzube. Que Dios lo tenga entre sus escogidos.
Gracias

Thank you for writing, and may God keep you among his ones, too. Yes, an obituary for Bishop Arzube should mention his homeland.
He was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on June 1, 1918.
www.diario-extra.com had a fitting story, "El adios del Obispo Juan Arzube," with a subhead, "Sorrow in the U.S. Ecuadorian community."
In Bishop Arzube's family was Ecuador's second saint, San Miguel Febres Cordero (1854-1910), also called Santo Hermano Miguel.
The story continues:
"Orgullosamente ecuatoriano su sotana tenía la bandera del Ecuador. Fue el tercer Gran Mariscal del desfile ecuatoriano en Los Ángeles, ofreció las misas de las fiestas patrias junto a Mons. Bolívar Jaramillo, hasta hace dos años que su salud se lo permitió.
"Entregó la imagen de la Virgen De La Dolorosa del colegio San Gabriel, de Quito, al Comité de la Virgen en Los Ángeles. Guía espiritual de los ecuatorianos en Los Ángeles, asistió a las reuniones de la Fundación Ecua-USA, Club Ambato, Cámara de Comercio y a otras organizaciones comunitarias."
God bless!
