A Prayer of Thanksgiving
We join the church in mourning the death of Pope Francis.
Pray with us in thanksgiving for the life and legacy of our beloved shepherd:
Loving God,
we give you thanks for the life and ministry of Pope Francis.
In him you gave us a man of humility,
one who valued listening to the voices of the voiceless,
compassion for the undervalued,
mercy for sinners and justice for the oppressed.
You gave us a pastor
who led through the example of his love
for your people and your creation,
who was not ashamed to smell like his sheep.
Comfort all who mourn his passing,
and may the angels now lead him to paradise with you
to rest in your peace for eternity.
May your Spirit guide the future successor to your servant Francis
to continue the work you have begun through him,
for the good of the Church and the world.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Oración de Acción de Gracias
Nos unimos a la Iglesia en el duelo por la muerte del Papa Francisco.
Oren con nosotros en acción de gracias por la vida y el legado de nuestro amado pastor:
Dios de amor,
te damos gracias por la vida y el ministerio del Papa Francisco.
En él nos diste un hombre humilde,
quien valoró escuchar las voces de los que no tienen voz,
compasión por los desfavorecidos,
misericordia por los pecadores y justicia para los oprimidos.
Nos diste un pastor
que lideró con el ejemplo de su amor
por tu pueblo y tu creación,
que no se avergonzó de oler como sus ovejas.
Consuela a todos los que lloran su partida,
y que los ángeles lo conduzcan al paraíso contigo
para que descanse en tu paz por la eternidad.
Que tu Espíritu guíe al futuro sucesor de tu siervo Francisco
para continuar la obra que has comenzado a través de él,
por el bien de la Iglesia y del mundo.
Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

In this time of mourning, my prayer is that all of us in the Church will honor Pope Francis’ legacy by remembering that he called us to urgent tasks that are still not finished.

Pastor's Message
Welcome to the Mission Basilica San Buenaventura!
...the Mission by the Sea!
At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, we hear Jesus commission His disciples (MT 28: 16-20):
“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
This is our baptismal identity and calling…to be disciples of the Lord Jesus who is risen from the dead. To help us to remember who we are in Jesus and what we are called
to do, you will see and read new signage in the back of the Basilica and in the foyer of O’Brien Hall.
We are called to be DYNAMIC DISCIPLES.
- A Dynamic Disciple Believes in Jesus as Savior.
- A Dynamic Disciple Grows in following Jesus.
- A Dynamic Disciple Gathers in a faith community.
- A Dynamic Disciple Loves unconditionally.
- A Dynamic Disciple Leads other to Jesus.
