Mission San Diego

Our family has been on a local pilgrimage to visit all 21 of the California Missions. So far we have visited San Gabriel, San Fernando (the pictures there weren’t so good so we are going back there), San Juan Capistrano, San Luis Rey, Santa Barbara, San Diego and San Buenaventura.

I have a couple of the pix for Mission San Diego visit in this post. If you click on one of the images, it will take you to my San Diego Mission photo album. San Diego was the first mission, established in 1769.

California fourth graders have to do reports on the Missions as part of California history. Fourth graders are welcome to use my images for their reports (if allowed by their teachers).

There are lots more images to see in the photo album. Click here or on one of the pictures to go to the photo album.

Very nice! We visited this mission when we came to California in 1995–and attended Mass there. What an awesome feeling to be in a church with such a rich history!

Thanks, all!

We have gained a greater appreciation for some of the sacrifices of those who went before us through our pilgrimage.

More to come. We plan on visiting several more this summer.

Prayer for our Priests

Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and living perpetually among us through Your Priests, grant that the words of Your Priests may be only Your words, that their gestures be only Your gestures, and that their lives be a true reflection of Your life.

Grant that they may be men who speak to God on behalf of His people, and speak to His people of God. Grant that they be courageous in service, serving the Church as she asks to be served.

Grant that they may be men who witness to eternity in our time, travelling on the paths of history in Your steps, and doing good for all.

Grant that they may be faithful to their commitments, zealous in their vocation and mission, clear mirrors of their own identity, and living the joy of the gift they have received.

We pray that Your Holy Mother, Mary, present throughout Your life, may be ever present in the life of Your Priests.

Amen
