I've heard word that Bishop Andrew passed away today as the result of some sort of automobile accident. May rest in the peace of Christ.

For some reason, I find this news to be most shocking. A reminder of the fate of Auxiliary Bishop John Stock of the Ukrainian Archeparchy of Philadelphia, several years ago... it's perhaps a reminder also for us to be ready, because we may have to stand before the merciful Lord for judgment at any time.
As a child I was given to understand that to die on a feast of the Mother of God is to be regarded as most fortuitous; and Dec. 8/9 certainly is one of her feasts...
May that same Lord reward His servants Vladyka Andrew and Vladyka John; and make their memory to be eternal.

May the memory of the Lord's servant, the Bishop Andrew, be eternal.
