Human rights Pastoral in the Amazon
I have been welcomed and well accepted into the service. So, immediately, when the Vicariate Assembly was about to finish (with nearly all the missionaries and some laypersons from the different sites of mission), I got ready to assume the task once the Bishop mainstreamed the issue in the Assembly, and right away I delivered a written survey to each of the participantes inquiring what and how they wanted the Human Rights Pastoral.

A Fraternal Pilgrimage in Syria
It was the extraordinary experience of grace, with warm hospitality from the Syrian friars both in Aleppo and in Damascus.

Mexico, Season of Creation
Ecological marches were performed where the streets and community green spaces were swept away. Some marches in schools and convents also included the program of greening their gardens, etc. In other fraternities, there were workshops on recycling, herbal and traditional medicine, homemade water filters, organic compost for gardening. As a result, the novitiate house decided to grow vegetables in an organic way. Some sessions of special reflection on the care of our Common Home were organized for children, youth and adults in the parishes of the indigenous people.
