(En esta carta, el Arzobispo Gomez aborda las recientes controversias en torno a los monumentos públicos de San Junípero Serra y pide a los fieles de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles que invoquen “la intercesión del santo por esta nación que él ayudó a fundar”. El Arzobispo pide oraciones, especialmente por “el fin de los prejuicios raciales y por una nueva concientización de lo que significa que todos los hombres y mujeres han sido creados iguales como hijos de Dios”. El Arzobispo Gomez también ofrece una meditación espiritual original que él compuso casi en su totalidad a partir de palabras tomadas de los sermones y cartas de San Junípero.)

In the following letter, Archbishop José H. Gomez addresses recent controversies surrounding public monuments to St. Junípero Serra and asks the faithful of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to invoke the saint’s “intercession for this nation that he helped to found.” Ahead of the saint's July 1 feast day, he urges prayers especially for “an end to racial prejudice and a new awareness of what it means that all men and women are created equal as children of God.” Archbishop Gomez also offers an original spiritual meditation that he composed almost entirely from words drawn from St. Junípero’s sermons and letters.
