Heavenly Father, we ask you to look lovingly on the
missionary journey of your faithful servant, Blessed Junipero Serra.
His steadfast efforts in founding nine missions in California and the
conversion of thousands of Native Americans have inspired the formation
and work of Serra International.
This ministry in Father Serra's name is to encourage and affirm
vocations to priesthood and vowed religious life.
We pray that you bless this holy and courageous Franciscan missionary
and grant him the ultimate honour of Sainthood in your heavenly kingdom.
We ask this in the name of thy Blessed Trinity and of Mary, Queen of
Vocations.
Amen. |
