Many people gathered in a field close to a former mission in Tallahassee to celebrate the close of the diocesan phase of the Cause for Beatification of Servants of God Antonio Inija and Companions, Martyrs of La Florida. In this homily, I give thanks to God for the martyrs and saints who have gone before us, and I speak briefly about the Martyrs of La Florida, as well as the process that has brought us to this point.
