During a brief but intense visit, Father Jesús Fernández Hernández, President of the Identes missionaries, and María del Carmen García Viyuela, Superior General of the Identes missionaries, visited Colombia on the 29th, 30th and 31st of March.

In all the encounters and moments of coexistence they transmitted with excitement the joy to know we are loved by the Heavenly Father and the need to live in a state of continuous prayer. In this way, it is possible to avoid the usual dispersion in which people live and we can go inside ourselves and meet Christ.

Father Jesus had the opportunity to address an Idente family group with whom he shared some endearing moments, encouraging everyone to let themselves be touched by Christ.

To conclude his visit, on Sunday, March 31, he celebrated Holy Mass in the parish of Our Lady of Pilar, administered by the idente missionaries. The homily surprised most of the people for the strength with which he spoke of the need to love the Father. After Mass one of the little altar girls innocently told Father Jesus that she had dreamt of Jesus and asked him if that was possible, to which he said yes. This little girl’s joy at our president’s answer touched everyone.

Both the President and the Superior General taught us by their example to be tireless apostles and to wear ourselves out for announcing the Kingdom of God.
