“Mary, for her part, kept all these things, pondering them in her heart” (cf. Lk 2:51). In Luke’s Gospel, the Mother of the Lord is presented to us in this way, as the guardian of all that was happening in the life of her Son Jesus. We too would like to start from this inner attitude of attention to the Lord present in our lives, as we begin a new pastoral year. The year 2022 has given us the gift of gratitude for the ecclesial journey that began thirty years ago, thanks to the sacrifice of the first CICM missionaries, especially our first, beloved bishop, Bishop Wenceslao Padilla.

Very dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I turn to you with trepidation. I am sending you this letter on the day of Mary, the Immaculate Conception. She is our guide, our beacon, our most tender Mother who knows all our anxieties and our desires. I entrust these reflections to her, so that she may be the one to help us in our faith.
