Known as the “apostle of California,” Junípero Serra was a Spanish Franciscan priest, explorer, and founder of the California missions. His motto was “siempre adelante,” or keep moving forward. It was a testament to his energetic nature, a characteristic that kept alive his fervor for the Gospel. We all have ways to experience the joy of the Gospel. For some it may be a daily practice of reading the Bible. For others it may be acts of charity or starting a Bible study group. Whatever you do, keep moving forward in pursuit of your passion. Be zealous to the end (Titus 2:14).
