Dear Mother Ascensión Nicol and community:

With great gratitude, I write to thank you for all you have done and continue to do in Peru. Your dedication, your love for those most in need and, above all, the poorest, has left profound and hopeful marks. Thank you for showing us that the love of Christ is lived out in your works and daily service.

Since I learned about your mission, I have felt in my heart the desire to follow in your footsteps. I dream of one day being able to join the mission in Peru, share my life with the people, and be close to the poor, bringing them hope, education, and love, as you have done for so many years.

However, I also have fears: my limitations, my weaknesses, and the doubt of whether I will be able to face such a great mission. But I trust that, if it is God’s will, He will give me the necessary strength.

Please keep me in your prayers, so that I may discern my path well and respond with generosity.

Thank you for your dedicated life and for sowing hope among the poorest and most forgotten.

With love and gratitude,

Your daughter Dionisia Salsinha Maia
