From Our Pastor Dear Parishioners, In two more days our Holy Father Pope Francis will arrive to our country and on the 23rd he will celebrate the Mass of Canoniza on of Junipero Serra at the Basilica of the Na onal Shrine of the Immaculate Concep on. So these are days of great joy for us! Because not only the Vicar of Christ is among us but also a new saint – known as the Apostle of California- will be added to the extensive list of those who followed Christ faithfully. Therefore, as we expect the unfolding of these days as days of great blessings and joy for our country and for all Catholics throughout the world, I’d like to share with you an excerpt of one of the most exquisite le ers that the soon-saint-to-be Junipero Serra wrote to his friend Fr. Francisco Serra before leaving for Mexico. He wrote: “Words cannot express the feelings of my heart as I bid you farewell nor can I properly repeat to you my request that you be the consola on of my parents to sustain them in their sorrow. I wish I could communicate to them the great joy that fills my heart. If I could do this, then surely they would always encourage me to go forward and never turn back. Let them remember that the office of an apostolic preacher, especially in its spiritual exercise, is the greatest calling to which they could wish me to be chosen. Since they are advanced in years, let them recall that life is uncertain and, in fact, may be very brief. If they compare it with eternity, they will realize it to be but a fleeing instant… Tell them how sorry I feel that herea er I will not be so close to them, as I have been, to assist, cheer and console them; but let them remember that the will of God should come first and should be placed before, over, and above all things. It was for the love of God that I le them; now, since I, for the love of God and with the help of His grace, have le them, it is but just and right that they are also, for God’s sake, glad to be deprived of my company. …It is in conformity to the will of God that they shall possess their souls and obtain eternal life. Let them a ribute to none but God what they now lament, and then, and not ll then will they experience how light and sweet is the yoke of the Lord; and what they endure as a great tribula on will be changed into exceedingly great joy. This is no me in which to muse and worry or be bowed in grief over the happenings of life, but to be resigned to the will of God, and prepare ourselves for a holy and happy death. This is, indeed, the all-important business in life; this one a ained, all the rest fall into insignificance. If we a ain Heaven, it ma ers li le if we lose the whole world. But if we lose Heaven, all the rest will be of no profit. They should be proud to have a son priest, though a poor and unworthy one, and a sinner who every day prays for them in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and a great many mes offers it especially for them, that the Good Lord may assist them and grant them sufficient means for their decent support, pa ence in their trials, resigna on to the will of God, peace, union and […] strength to resist tempta ons and a acks of the devil, and finally, when the last summons comes, a holy and peaceful death, in the loving embrace of God. Should I happen to be a good religious, through the grace of God, then my prayers would be more efficacious and you would not be the least in sharing in the profits thereof. […] One day, thinking that he [his father] was going to die, he called me and said to me: ‘My dear son, this is my earnest request, that you be always a good religious of our Holy Father Saint Francis.’ …these words are s ll ringing in my ears, and furthermore, it is in order to be a good religious that I have taken this course of a missionary life. […] I know full well that my mother has never failed to pray for me that I may be a good religious. Now, my beloved mother, it may be that it is due to your prayers that the Good Lord has given me this voca on. Be glad, therefore, of what God has disposed, and in all your trials say from the bo om of your heart, ‘Praise be God! Let His Holy Will ever be done!’” (August 20, 1749). May God bless you all! Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE
