1. Let me tell you a love story that changed my life. It is about my two favorite people in the world, who even though they were not rich or famous, loved each other so much, that they changed the world around them. Love is that powerful & its effects continue after they are gone 2. She was the youngest of 4. She was cute since birth but that didn’t stop her from being a hardworking girl who struggled in a very poor family. But one thing was always present in her: she was the joy everywhere she went. Her smile and light changed every room.

1/7 This is the story of a priest running in hospitals being “interrupted.”
So, as usual, I went to the hospital for an emergency call. The sight of a priest running in a hospital gets many people’s attention, but it is normal now. Today, however, it was a very special day... 2/7 I made it in time for anointing and prayers and also, as usual, many people stopped me to bless rosaries or pray for their family and friends. When I was getting on the elevator, I heard the cry of a mom calling me in Spanish.
I heard her pain.
I felt her pain.

1. If you have ever felt lonely, rejected, or even felt like God had abandoned you, then this short thread is for you. Let me share with you a personal story that I hope helps you enter deeper into experiencing Jesus even when you feel nobody cares for you. 2. When I entered seminary, I was a bit older than everyone else. I was 34 when everyone else was 24-27. But I was full of joy starting my new life. To study and learn a lot, plus I am an extrovert and I love meeting new people. Never had I imagined what I was about to experience

thread 1. Walking in a store someone yelled at me, “pedophile priest.” Let me star by saying that I AM NOT A VICTIM here. The victims are the abused victims. They are the ones who matter here. I still paralyzed. I didn’t know what to do or say. 2. For the first time, I felt, for just a second, shame for the priesthood. I know it is not good to hear this, but I couldn’t help it. If you feel anger and disgust and shame, you are not alone and yet these feelings are but a little grain of sand of what the victims feel

(THREAD) 1. MEET Estela and Nicolas. Today they got married. For anyone else this would be just a picture of a normal wedding day, but for these two, there is much more than meets the eye. For them, this is a story of the triumph of love and hope. 2. 3 weeks ago I was approached by someone at my parish.
-“Father, there is a couple who wants to get married.”
-“I am glad to hear that. Tell them to call me & we will set up a meeting.”
-“Well” she said, “this is the thing. They are in the hospital. Could you come please?”

My conversion/Vocation story: once upon a time I was a good Catholic, born in an amazing Catholic family and very involved in the Church. I even went to minor seminary when I was 11 years old. In time that all disappeared. What happened to me? Why did I leave the faith? I am not sure when exactly, but when I left seminary some part of me also left God, little by little. It started as a feeling of lack of freedom. I thought that being with God didn’t allow me to be myself. That I couldn’t choose. I thought the Church was the Church of NO..
