What made you think about becoming a priest?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>When I was in my second semester of Telecommunications Engineering at university, I suddenly felt a void inside me. I knew I was not on the right path or the one that would lead me to my happiness. Nothing could fill that emptiness, neither friendships nor my hobbies. I simply experienced that I needed to stop, think, and above all, ask God for an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Why the Legion and not another place?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>When I decided to follow Christ, I didn\u2019t know much about how to become a priest. So I left everything in the hands of my older brother, who is a priest today. He was the one who guided me towards the Legion. He met a Legionary priest, and after a conversation with him, he told me: \u201cthis is for you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, I have surely experienced difficult moments and others wonderful ones. Tell us about some of them.<br \/>Among the most difficult moments, I remember when I was studying philosophy. It was when everything about the founder came to light. Those were moments of confusion and disorientation among the Legionaries, but at the same time, this event has strengthened my dedication and love for the Legion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>What has helped you the most in your vocation?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Having the support of my family and the good relationship I have maintained with my formators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>A saint to imitate<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;I love Father P\u00edo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>In what area would you like to exercise your priestly ministry?<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;In family pastoral work, especially with young families. And also in the area of education in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>What would you like to contribute as a priest to the Regnum Christi family?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>I would love to serve the members of Regnum Christi through the formation of adolescents. That is what I am called to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was born in Fusagasug\u00e1, Cundinamarca, Colombia. He entered the novitiate on February 5, 2005, in Medell\u00edn, Colombia. Six months later, he was sent to the novitiate of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. He took his vows on February 25, 2007. That same year, he went to Salamanca, Spain, to begin his studies in the humanities, later traveling to Rome to study philosophy. From 2011 to 2015, he carried out his apostolic practices as a vocational promoter in Bogot\u00e1, as a formation instructor at Colegio Cumbres in Bogot\u00e1, and as an ECYD assistant in that city, as well as a formator at the Santa Mar\u00eda de Altamira minor seminary in Medell\u00edn. On February 6, 2014, he made his perpetual profession in Bogot\u00e1.<br \/>He returned to Rome to pursue Theology studies. Currently, he serves as vice-rector and assistant to pre-candidates at the Altamira Vocational Center in Medell\u00edn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us about that moment that marked your path to priesthood.
