IV Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano
LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we gather in worship this weekend, we commemorate the 300th Anniversary of the birth of the founder of not only our beautiful “Jewel of the California Missions” but also the great evangelizer of “Alta Califor-nia” and Padre Presidente of the California Missions, Blessed Junipero Serra.
Fr. Serra was born in Petra, Majorca, Spain on November 24, 1713. On November 14, 1730, he entered the Franciscan order and took the name “Junipero” in honor of Saint Juniper who had also been a Francis-can and a companion of St. Francis. As a young scholar he eventually received a doctorate in theology and was known as an engaging teaching and powerful preacher.
In 1749 he was missioned by his order to Mexico City where he taught theology at the College of San Fer-nando de Mexico. The story is told that on traveling by foot from the east coast of Mexico to Mexico City, he was bitten by a snake and suffered from it throughout his life, though he continued to make his journeys on foot whenever necessary. In time, he requested a transfer to the Sierra Gorda Indian Missions some 90 miles north of Santiago de Querétaro, where he spent about nine years. In 1768, Fr. Serra was appointed su- perior of a band of 15 Franciscans who were missioned to take over the evangelization efforts in Baja and Alta California following the suppres- sion of the Jesuit order. On March 12, 1768, Serra embarked from the Pacific port of San Blas on his way to the Californias. Early in the year 1769, he accompanied Governor Gaspar de Portalà on his expedition to Alta California. When the par-ty reached San Diego on July 1, Fr. Serra stayed behind to start the Mission San Diego de Alcalà, the first of the 21 California missions.
Fr. Serra moved to the area that is now Monterey in 1770, and found-ed Mission San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo. He remained there as “Father Presidente” of the Alta Cali- fornia missions. In 1771, Fr. Serra relocated the mission to Carmel, which became known as “Mission Carmel” and served as his headquarters. Under his presidency were founded Mission San Antonio de Pad-ua, Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, our own beloved Mission San Juan Capistrano, Mission San Francisco de Asís, Mission Santa Clara de Asís, and Mission San Buenaventura.
During the American Revolutionary War, Fr. Serra took up a collection from his mission parishes through-out California. The total money collected amounted to roughly $ 137, but the money was sent to General George Washington!
During the remaining three years of his life he visited the missions from San Diego to San Francisco, travel-ing more than 600 miles in the process, in order to confirm, by special delegation of the Holy See, all who had been baptized. He suffered intensely from his crippled leg, yet he would use no remedies. He con-firmed 5,309 persons, who, with but few exceptions, were Indians (“neophytes”) converted during the 14 years from 1770.
On August 28, 1784, at the age of 70, Fr. Junipero Serra died at Mission San Carlos Borromeo. He is bur-ied there under the sanctuary floor.
It is to be noted with great pride that the chapel in our historic Mission, built in 1782, is thought to be the oldest standing building in California. Known as “Father Serra’s Church,” it has the distinction of being the

only remaining church in which Fr. Serra is known to have celebrated the sacraments of the Church. Our records show that he presided over the confirmations of 213 people on October 12 and October 13, 1783.
Fr. Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988.
As members of the historic mother Church of our Diocese, we take great pride in marking the 300th Anni-versary of our founder, Blessed Junipero Serra. May his motto, “Always forward, never backwards!” be an inspiration to all of us as we live our faith with the same courage and conviction that filled the heart of Blessed Serra with such zeal for the Gospel of Christ.
Beginning our new week in Christ, may we commend to the loving mercy of our God all those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. May they be at peace.
Always forward! Msgr. Art

PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA
Declaración de la Parroquia de la Misión
MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA: Para terminar y como colofón del Año Litúrgico, la Comunidad Cristiana celebra la solemnidad de JESUCRISTO, REY DEL UNIVER-SO. ¡Cristo ayer, hoy y siempre! Es, sin duda, un atrevimiento en este nuestro mundo donde los “reyes absolutos” no tienen buena prensa. ¿Qué celebra HOY la Comunidad Cristiana en esta fiesta? ¿Tiene algo que ver con eso de los reyes (= poder y riquezas)? Y afir-mamos que NADA EN ABSOLUTO. Es necesario “meter otra clave” para descubrir lo que significa lo del reinado de Cristo. Al proclamarlo así, estamos haciendo una declaración formal: Él debe impregnar toda la vida del cristiano, de manera que su forma de ver, amar y actuar van dándole a su seguidor una IDENTIDAD concreta y específica, donde la vida de cada día, los deseos de justicia, de verdad, de solidaridad van haciéndose vida y produciendo vida. Este reinado, pues, poco tiene que ver con el grito de “viva Cristo Rey”, como a veces se ha confundido. Nos tocará a sus seguido-res poner las cosas en su sitio. Nos tocará a nosotros mostrar al mun-do que la CRUZ y el SERVICIO son las claves de lectura de este reinado de Cristo. No olvidemos: “Yo he venido a ser testigo de la verdad. Todo el que es de la verdad, escucha mi voz”. Éste será el mensaje que nos deja Jesús. ¡Dichosos quienes así le acogen como REY y SEÑOR!

Tema: “Bendito el que viene en nombre del Senor. Bendito el reino que llega, el de nuestro padre David”. Adultos: ¿Qué características tendría un buen líder? ¿Cuál de éstas estás tratando de desarrollar? Adolescentes y Niños: Viendo el ejemplo de Jesús, ¿quién crees que es un buen líder?

24 de Noviembre del 2013 † Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo IX
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, Al reunirnos este fin de semana, nosotros estamos conmemorando el 300 aniversario del nacimiento de nuestro fundador y de nuestra “Joya de las Misiones de California”, además el gran evangelizador de la “Alta California” y Padre Presidente de las Misiones de California, Bendito Junipero Serra. Padre Serra nació en Petra, Mallorca, España el 24 de noviembre del 1713. El 14 de noviembre del 1730, él ingreso a la orden Franciscana en donde tomó el nombre de “Junipero” en honor a Santo Junipero quien también fue un Franciscano y compañero de San Francisco de Asís. Durante su juventud recibió el doctorado en teología y fue conocido como un buen maestro y gran predicador. En 1749 fue comisionado por su orden a la Ciudad de México en donde impartió clases de teología en el Colegio de San Fernando de la ciudad México. La historia nos cuenta que en uno de sus recorridos a pie por la costa este de México yendo hacia la ciudad de México, fue mordido por una serpiente y a causa de esa picadura sufrió el resto de su vida, aunque continuo haciendo sus jornadas a pie cuando eran necesa-rias. Al paso del tiempo, él pidió ser transferido a las Misiones Indígenas de Sierra Gorda, unas 90 millas al norte de Santiago de Querétaro, donde estuvo allí aproximadamente nueve años. En 1768, Padre Serra fue nombrado superior de 15 frailes franciscanos quienes fueron comi-sionados para tomar el proyecto de la evangelización en la Baja y Alta California después de que los Jesuitas fueron expulsados del área. El 12 de marzo del 1768, Serra se embarcó del puerto de San Blas por el Pacifi-co hacia las Californias. Al comienzo del año 1769, él acompaño al Go-bernador Gaspar de Pórtola en su expedición a la Alta California. Cuando el grupo arribó a San Diego el 1 de julio, Padre Serra se quedó atrás para comenzar la Misión de San Diego de Alcalá, primera de las 21 misiones en California. Padre Serra se mudó al área de lo que es hoy Monterey en 1770 y fundó la Misión de San Carlos Bo- rromeo de Carmelo. El permane-ció allí como “Padre Presidente” de las misiones de la Alta California. En 1771, padre Serra reubico la Mi- sión de Carmel, la cual es conocida hoy día como “Misión Carmel” y sir- vió como casa principal. Durante su presidencia fueron fundadas las misiones de San Antonio de Padua, San Gabriel Arcángel, San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, nuestra amada Misión San Juan Capistrano, San Francisco de Asís, Santa Clara de Asís y Misión San Buenaventura. Durante la Guerra de la Revolución Americana, Padre Serra llevó a cabo una colecta en todas las parroquias de las varias misiones en California. El total del dinero que se colecto fue $137 dólares, y este ¡fue enviado al General George Washington! Durante los últimos tres años de su vida él visitó las misiones desde San Diego hasta San Francisco, viajando más de 600 millas, para confirmar, por petición especial de la delegación de la Santa Sede, a todo aquel que fue bautizado. El sufrió intensamente a causa de su pierna lisiada, sin embargo se reusaba a usar remedios. Confirmó a 5,309 personas, quienes, en pocas excepciones, fueron Indios (“neófitos”) conversos durante los últimos 14 años desde 1770. El 28 de agosto del 1784, a la edad de 70 años, Padre Junipero Serra murió en la Misión de San Car-los Borromeo en donde descansan sus restos, bajo el piso del santuario. Es un gran orgullo el hacer notar que la Capilla de nuestra Misión histórica, construida en el 1782, es considerada la construcción, aun en pie más antigüa en California. Conocida como la Iglesia del Padre Serra, tiene la distinción de ser la única iglesia en pie en donde sabemos que el Padre Serra celebró los sacramen-tos de la Iglesia. Nuestros expediente muestran que el llevó a cabo más de 213 confirmaciones de personas
X Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano
en las fechas del 12 y 13 de octubre del 1783. El Padre Serra fue beatificado por el Papa Juan Pablo II el 25 de septiembre del 1988. Como miembros de la histórica madre Iglesia de nuestra Diócesis, nos enorgullece el estar cele-brando el 300 aniversario de nuestro fundador, Bendito Junipero Serra. Que su lema, “¡Siempre adelante, nunca hacia atrás!” sea una inspiración para todos nosotros mientras vivimos nuestra fe con la misma valen-tía y convicción que llenaba el corazón del Bendito Serra con tal celo por el Evangelio de Cristo. Comenzando nuestra nueva semana en Cristo, encomendemos a la amorosa misericordia de nues-tro Dios a todos aquellos quienes nos han presedido y han sido marcados con el signo de la fe. Descansen en paz. Siempre adelante! Mons. Art

Si usted aún no ha regresado el “biberón” con sus monedas, por favor regréselo a la Oficina del Centro Pastoral o a Sacristía de la Basílica. Por favor regrese el biberón ya que lo necesi-taremos para el próximo año. ¡Gracias a todos los niños que ofrecieron sus monedas apostando por la vida!
¡NO SE QUEDE AFUERA! VENGA Y PARTICIPE DE LAS ACTI-VIDADES DEL MES DE DICIEMBRE:
-Novena Guadalupana -Posadas -Noche Buena -Navidad
