It is not easy to express, in a few words, WHO Ramón Zubieta is for me, even though his life and his way of doing mission touches my “soul” and challenges our mission day after day.

The Novitiate is the great stage of our religious life for various reasons; we have a brilliant teacher, selfsame human, even though he did not stop working, he continuously have time to listen to them who called upon him.

I respond to the invitation to write my experience with you, Ramón Zubieta. And when I went to insert in the writing some quote about you, I met you. Yes, of course I have known you for more than 50 years. Better said, now I see that I only had an idea about you. You know, your life, or rather you in Peru, is like the frame of a painting
As a Congregation, we are celebrating the centenary of the life of dedication of Ramon Zubieta, father and true prophet among his people. We cannot hide the treasure that he is, we have to preach it to the four winds, also because, today as yesterday, our world lacks models of life and committed sanctity..
