Fernando Valenzuela celebrated at cathedral funeral Mass
Just as Fernando Valenzuela tipped his eyes to heaven during his famous windup when he pitched, so did the hundreds of faithful who flocked to his funeral at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on Nov. 6.
But as Father Jim Anguiano said during his Mass homily, that glance to heaven is no longer needed.
“Fernando no longer has to look up, nor does he have to look down,” Anguiano said. “Fernando is alive and present in our hearts and in our lives. Any time we feel that he is not with us, all we have to do is turn to our hearts and to our lives to recognize his presence.”
