"On the day before his death, Father Serra asked his dear friend Father Palou to stay with him and assist his dying. Serra asked Palou for the
Viaticum, the final reception of Holy Communion before death. Serra insisted on
going to the church for this ritual. He had also called for the presidio
carpenter to prepare his coffin. The Father-President spent his last night on
earth in his cell, deep in prayer."
