O God, in Your ineffable mercy,
You chose Saint Junipero Serra
as a means of gathering many peoples
of the Americas into Your Church.
Grant that through his intercession
our hearts may be united in You
in ever greater love,
so that at all times and in all places
we may show forth the image
of Your Only-Begotten Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
