Saint Junipero Serra Canonization Anniversary

Ten years ago today, Pope Francis, during his apostolic visit to the United States, canonized St. Junípero Serra during a Mass at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception inWashington, DC.

We invite you to spend a few minutes reflecting on the Holy Father’s spoken during his homily:
Father Serra had a motto which inspired his life and work, not just a saying, but above all a reality which shaped the way he lived: siempre adelante! Keep moving forward! For him, this was the way to continue experiencing the joy of the Gospel, to keep his heart from growing numb, from being anesthetized. He kept moving forward, because the Lord was waiting. He kept going, because his brothers and sisters were waiting. He kept going forward to the end of his life. Today, like him, may we be able to say: Forward! Let’s keep moving forward!
