## Resource

Wednesday Mass. 7.01.26 On the feast of Saint Junipero Serra, I reflect on his motto — always forward, never back — and how it applies to our own spiritual lives. Even when life is a mess, God is always in control. The enemy wants us to stay comfortable and stagnant, but God calls us to keep moving forward for the gospel.
