Querido Padre Manuel,
Mi familia y yo estamos orando por usted pidiendole a Dios por su pronta recuperacion.
Aprovecho esta ocasion para manifestarle mi mas profundo agradecimiento por todas las gracias espirituales que El Señor por medio de usted ha derramado en nuestras vidas.
Personalmente le agradezco el haber sido usted quien con su hermosa mirada y sus palabras de amor y sabiduria, iniciaron en mi un largo proceso de conversion.
Desde el año de 1973 cuando a traves del Movimiento de Cursillos inicie mi caminar cristiano; usted ha sido para mi como un faro de luz que ha iluminado y mantenido viva en mi la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo, en el Sacerdocio y en la Santa Iglesia Catolica.
Terminare diciendo como dije hace muchos años en una cancion que compuse para usted:
"Todos queremos al Padre Manuel
Porque la gracia de Dios es con el
Y nuestra Iglesia deberia tener
Muchos como el."
Que Dios nos lo conserve por mucho tiempo todavia.
Y aun nos queda la esperanza de saber que cuando el Señor lo llame a su Quinto Dia, tendremos en el cielo a un amigo y nosotros sus hijos, haciendo una constante palanca de oracion y un grito !De colores! jubiloso y eterno .
Lo quiero mucho Padre Manuel.

On behalf of all the parishioners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Glendale, Arizona, we are praying for Bishop Moreno, that he may find renewed hope in his suffering and health in time. We trust that God will look upon him kindly, and shower him with love so that his pain may be lessened.
We are also praying for his family, may they have the strenght to continue supporting in this moment of pain, so that their strenght may be the force that supports Bishop Moreno in this difficult time.
I personally pray for him, the kind, gentle and loving man i have know for so many years.

Bishop Moreno,
Through the intercession of Saint Joseph, Patron of a happy death, May the Lord send His Angels to protect you during this time of trial.
En nombre de la familia Peralta-Barnett, le envio nuestras humildes oraciones para usted, Sr. Obispo, asi como para su familia. Obispo Moreno, usted siempre tendra un lugar muy especial en el corazon de nuestra familia, que tuvo el honor de conocerle. Durante mi caminar en el Movimientos de Cursillos, fue usted mi ejemplo de humildad, oracion, servicio y amor. Que la paz de Cristo y el amor de Ntra. Sra. de Guadalupe esten con usted y los suyos en estos momentos tan dificiles.

No other man have I met who possessed such a pure, gentle and loving soul. His grace and peace touched each person he met. Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to the family and many of his close friends who had held him in their hearts as family. He will be missed.
My prayers are with the family of Bishop Moreno and the diocese of Tucson. It was a pleasure for me to serve the diocese when Bishop Moreno was the Bishop. He was such a people's person. Wonderful man. May he rest in peace.

Dear Father Moreno,
Thank you for teaching me how to serve Mass at the Altar of the Lord back in 1961, for showing me how to be a priest, and for your fraternal presence and support when I was called to serve the Church as a bishop. You have been to me a loving father, a wise teacher and a gentle shepherd.
May you Rest in Peace, my dear brother!
With an expression of heartfelt sympathy for your family, especially to Fernando,

Desde la ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco en donde estoy haciendo mi año sabático, quiero unirme a la Diocesis de Tucson y a la familia Moreno para expresar mi mas sentido pesame.
He estado orando por el Sr. Obispo Moreno durante su enfermedad y ahora continuo orando por su familia y la Diocesis, asi como todos los amigos que tenía el. Le extrañaremos! Pero, sé que está en mejor lugar ahora, gozando de Dios en el cielo. Intercede por nosotros ahora Manny!

My heartfelt sympathy to the Tucson Diocese, friends and especially the family members of
Bishop Moreno. I will miss you my friend. Thank God for having you be part of my life. DE COLORES! Janie Brown.
I heard a saying that goes something like this:
"When you were born you cried and your family rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, your family will cry and you will rejoice."
My friend, you have lived your life in a way that you have reason to rejoice. And even though we cry we are rejoicing with you.
Thank you. Love, Janie Brown.
May this servant of God rest in peace and may his family and friends find comfort in their time of sorrow! You are all in my prayers!

In Gratitude to Bishop Moreno, who was always an example of kindness, gentleness and love for others. Throughout the years, he helped many of us to discern out vocation to the priesthood, and not only his words, but example is what led many of us to respond to the call.
When he worked with Encuentros en Los Angeles, he guided many of us to follow the Lord, and its due to his example and good work, his leadership and good shepherd abilities that many of us are priests today.
I thank you Bishop Moreno for the love and care you shared with many of us, for having reached out to us and lifted us up when we needed your support and guidance, when you showed us that in following Christ, we must pick up our cross and follow, with suffering, pain, humility and joy.
Thank you Don Manuel for having been a father to many of us, and for having been there for me, for me to teach me to be the best priest that i can be.
I will always remember your good advise and will keep in mind your gentle smile.
Enjoy everlasting life with God the Father, and pray for us that we can be half as good a priest as you always were.
with much love

To my +Bishop Friend Manuel Moreno,
Who but you did remind me to pray first in God's Service, Who but you walked the pilgrimage of our Lady of Guadalupe from Safford to Solomon in your "boots" to celebrate with her people, Who but you opened your home to celebrate my PhD graduation as a sign of support, Who but you would smile and ask how I was doing? Who but you kept contact and became a "dear friend" after I served with you in the diocese, and who but you said at our last meeting seveeral months ago, that I was living in an earthly paradise and to remember the heavenly one where we will all meet again. You shared torillas, waffles, wine and a baseball game with me... but most of all you shared your sincere concern. I know your family and many friends will miss you dearly...I do so much. But I know you will watch over us and help us as you promised. With all Christ's Love, Carolyn Lopez, PhD friend and co-worker in the vineyards de Hawaii
DeColores Bishop, we can no longer surprise you by showing up whereever you visit in Los Angeles. Your groupies will love and miss you forever.
With sympathy and prayers I raise Bishop Moreno to the Lord. He faithfully ministered to the Word, Sacraments and was a good shepherd of the flock. He welcomed me when I was a stranger. May the Lord now welcome him into Heaven.
Fr. Anthony Naaeke
Gentle shepard, patient teacher and loving father, rest in peace and may the eternal light shine upon you. Peace and comfort to your family.

Hello to whom it may concern:
I want to sincerly share my thoughts and prayers for the Most Rev. Bishop Moreno. I was a seminarian when Bishop Moreno came to visit me in 1978 at Queen of Angeles Seminary in San Fernando, California. He made me who I AM.....a man of GOD and I am crying to hear of his passing. Bishop Moreno once heard my confession, he gave me the best advice in the world. Without him I was nothing. I want to express to the world what Bishop Moreno has meant to me. I am 43 yrs old and still remember the words he shared with me as a young seminarian. He was an inspriation as to how to live a life devotion. His words gave me a chance to live, and for that I will love him forever.
May your light shine upon us and continue to bless us all the days of our lives on earth until we walk with you and our Father in Heaven. Peace be with you my shepard, my friend.
Love and De Colores,
Arturo Ramirez and Laura Spinosa Ramirez

Dear Family and Brothers and Sisters of Bishop Manny in Ministry
Our family has been truly blessed to know Father Manuel-first and foremost a good and holy priest.His genuine humility was a welcome contrast to the hubris that saturates our society.
His photo sits on the wall of Fullerton High School's Distinguished Alumni Wall.It also should be placed in every seminary and House of Formation to serve as a reminder of what authentic ministry is all about.

Dear family and friends of Bishop Moreno - ("Manny" as he always asked us to call him),
My husband George and I were blessed to meet Manny through the Cursillo in Los Angeles in 1973. He has been a good friend and source of comfort and inspiration to us ever since. He reached across the country to comfort us when my husband was terminally ill, and continued to stay in touch with me after George's death dispite his very busy schedule.
Please accept my sincere sympathy at the loss of your dearest one.
De Colores,

Bishop Moreno’s death will be a loss to many. I only met him once and for only a very short time but I could see God’s love. This man had a troubled episcopate, but still was in love with God. This man was not embittered by a rough life. This is how I will remember the man.
Remember thy servant, O Lord, according to the favour which thou bearest unto thy people, and grant that, increasing in knowledge and love of thee, he may go from strength to strength, in the life of perfect service, in thy heavenly kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever, one God, world without end.
Yours in Christ

The end of the journey, and the beginning of the 5th day, that's what it's all about. Thank you for your example and your love. We shall miss you. Big hug for Fr. Enrique. DeColores.
My name is Wally Kniaz I am a graduate of Salpointe Catholic High school class of 1994. Bishop Moreno, "Manny" as we called him was always gracious, blessing us with many visits to the school. I will always remember how he was always so quite, but also extremely powerful in his ways. Thanks "Manny" for all you did for Salpointe, you will always be remembered. God Bless...

We were blest to know the Bishop and to share in special moments with him,especially at Cursillo. Con todo carino, Harold and Helen Daniel from Anaheim, California DE Colores
Bishop Moreno will be missed, but his example of humility, gentility, simplicity, and compassionate love in service to others will live on, as we know he will remain in our thoughts and prayers. He looks down from heaven and is still united with us in the Communion of Saints, whereby we are all connected in life and after death, so long as we sought to be faithful in this life. Art Gill, Serra Club of Tucson, on behalf of all Serrans.
Our prayers and thought will always be with Bishop Moreno and we all know that he is with our Holy Father in Heaven and his mother and father. He was a wonderful example and dearly love.
