Mark 4:22-23 shows the life of Jesus as a coexistence, “among people”, he used to leave the borders and crossed seas and mountains for the preaching of the Gospel, showing how the Kingdom can be lived, highlighting day by day the priority of the Father’s will.

“CHRISTMAS IN COMMUNITY: A SIGN OF HOPE”

Christmas is the encounter with the child who is born, it is a sign of Hope, of personal and community renewal.                    In fact, this season reminds us that no one should be excluded from human fraternity.

KEEP GOING…

KEEP GOING…

At a time when doubt and uncertainty seem to be the usual commodity in our society, we seek refuge in the One who has created not time, but eternity…  KEEP GOING…  We put a mark in history as we age and witness the passing of time, the celebration of silver and golden anniversaries and even diamond celebrations–of weddings or religious professions.

NEW LENSES

NEW LENSES

I remember in September 2013; we were faced with such dark nights that lasted months although the firing and bombing lasted a week-long. Zamboanga was devastated.

During our visit to the native community of Maranniato, in the Kugapacori territorial reserve, in Alto Camisea, we were asked about the situation of the first-grade children, who did not have a classroom to study.
