Oracion panegirica
(A panegyrical sermon)
A grandiloquent sermon written by Doctor Mariano Pilapil, professor of
Rhetoric of the Real Colegio del Santisimo San Joseph de Manila, on the
feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, June 29, 1796. The occasion was the
solemn blessing of the reconstructed Church of San Pedro de Macati which
was dedicated to Nuestra Senora de la Rosa. This poetic praise to the
Virgin evokes in a subtle manner, but not without the eloquence of
words, the preeminence of the New Testament over the Old, for it is she
who opened the gates of heaven when she became the Mother of Christ.
