Our Patron Saint ~ Junipero Serra
Not only because of his place in American history as the founder of a chain of missions in Mexico and California, but also because of his life of priestly zeal and heroic virtue, Fray Junípero Serra, OFM, was chosen as the patron of our apostolate. This gifted Franciscan friar had occupied the Duns Scotus chair of philosophy in Mallorca, Spain, until he felt the call to commit himself further to the service of Christ as a missionary in the New World. Departing from Cadiz, Spain, in 1748, he made the perilous crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a small ship, landing at Veracruz on the southern shore of the Gulf of Mexico. From there, he journeyed on foot to Mexico City, where tradition has it that he prayed at the church built over the famous site where the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.On Friday, March 10, Bruce and Jolene Jefferies were on a 50 minute walk in Medjugorje with Father Tom Weisbecker of St James Catholic Church. We had just come through the Cemetery (after visiting Fr. Slavko's grave) on our way to St. James Church in Medjugorje. We got stopped by "Tom Medjugorje" who has a YouTube channel @tommedjugorje8274. He asked Father Tom if he would provide his testimony. Jolene had mentioned, "Oh my gosh, I've watched your videos." Father Tom decided it would be okay to give his testimony. It is beautiful and powerful! We so enjoyed this and had fun meeting Tom Medjugorje. God is so good!

We can’t pray too much for our priests. This vocation is not for the faint of heart - it’s vulnerable and calls for every ounce of life that a man has. Living *in persona Christi* means that priests are the face of Jesus for the rest of us, but we forget that they’re just as human and just as subject to temptation; except satan will pursue them all the more because they are our shepherds.
To his disciples the Lord said, “Behold, I send you out like sheep in the midst of wolves.” Pray pray pray for our priests, that they will totally surrender to God’s wisdom, draw close to Mary who holds them so close to her Immaculate Heart, and live with joy and integrity.

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus while before Thy face I humbly kneel and, with burning soul, pray and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity; true contrition for my sins; and a firm purpose of amendment; while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy five most precious wounds, pondering over them within me while I call to mind the words which David Thy prophet said of Thee, my Jesus: “They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones.
