Mission is a question of heart

Emmir Nogueira: It’s a matter of heart
The more I pray and meditate on the mission, the more I see it is a matter of the heart.  Only God knows why. Perhaps my personal story has influenced me a bit. I have lived in mission in Asia, Africa, at a time when, as a child, the nuns and priests encouraged us to offer sacrifices, prayers and alms for the missions. At that time, they called us “Crosses of the Sacred Heart of Jesus” and invited us to receive a wide yellow ribbon, the colour of the Vatican, because we were animated by a spirit of authentic parrhesia that led us to the most difficult sacrifices in our infantile mentality (walking with stones in our shoes, stay long ...
What I learned about holiness through Shalom and the Pope

What I learned about holiness through Shalom and the Pope
An exhortation to today’s call to holiness made me reflect on this word: Holiness. “My modest goal is to repropose the call to holiness”, says the Pope in Gaudete et Exsultate. It may seem simple, but I remember perfectly the day when I felt for the first time that that holiness was also for me: this has changed my life! In my story I have always admired the saints, but sincerely towards them my relationship was never emulation but pure devotion.

Acamps Summer Festival

“He filled the void I felt in my heart”
Acamps for me was a very nice experience. Besides being in another environment and having a conversation with different people it made me know God in a way that I had never known before. It made me feel his love and that he was calling me to be happy and give me the tranquility that I was looking for in material things, friends, parties or some girl … He filled this void I felt in my heart and made me feel loved. Now I am sure that by following his commandments I can be a better person and so keep the happiness I felt when He entered my heart. Miguel Nieto   Would you like to have a new experience ...
