Time to lose…time of grace and gain

Time to lose…time of grace and gain

As I began to clean, to throw away, to do inventory of the things in the house, since we decided to leave this mission, I was sad, nostalgic, and dragging my feet with the heaviness of discouragement….

We regain hope, Guatemala will never again be without the people

We regain hope, Guatemala will never again be without the people

“In that historic gesture, faith was never lacking. Prayer and religious services accompanied every day, the different sit-ins that defended the country’s democracy.”   2023 was an epic year for Guatemala. It was an election year, in which, even though many social and civil instances had bet on civic education, the outlook was not flattering. 26 out of 30 political parties seek to perpetuate in power the anti-democratic forces, which

JUNIORATE EXPERIENCE

I would like to share something about the Christmas experience here in Aldaia. Just as we in our different experiences, we celebrate with all Christians the great joy of the Birth of the Child.
