More than 35 years have passed, and one of my dreams has come true. Since then, I wanted to go to a jungle, with the Indians\u2026 and tell them how wonderful Jesus Christ is.\u201d The speaker is Fr. Juan Ram\u00f3n de Andr\u00e9s, L.C., from Segovia, who currently works apostolically in Venezuela. We asked him to share his testimony about the missions of this Holy Week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">On Friday, March 27, I led a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soymisionero.es\/\" target=\"_blank\">Missionary Family<\/a> (96 missionaries in total, parents, young people, little children of 7 years\u2026) from Caracas. Our destination: Canaima. We set out at night. 12 hours by bus. 1 hour and a half by small plane. And two days later, 39 of us woke up at 5:00 am. We had a mission ahead: to bring Christ to the Pem\u00f3n Indians in Sarairaupa. 8 hours in a canoe and several more hours walking. We arrived at the place: only one church, a dining hall, and a small school with 3 classrooms. We camped. Tents and hammocks. Within minutes, Pem\u00f3n Indians arrived, as they live dispersed throughout the forest. They had been waiting for us for a year, since the last time missionaries visited them during Holy Week. And word spread: \u201cthere is a priest <\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"40\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" height=\"15\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"15\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legrc.org\/regnum_db\/imagenes_db\/actualidad\/pemomes_02.png\" alt=\"Pemomes 02\" width=\"250\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"15\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\" height=\"2\"><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/legrc.org\/regnum_db\/imagenes_db\/actualidad\/pemomes_02.png\" target=\"new\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legionariosdecristo.org\/espanol\/images\/new_ico_lupa.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"19\" height=\"15\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\"> for confession\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\"><strong>Confessions, weddings, baptisms&#8230; in Pem\u00f3n language<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">And they began to arrive. They arrived barefoot. With what devotion, with what fervor, with what repentance they did it! It was several hours. Most of them I couldn\u2019t understand, as they spoke Pem\u00f3n\u2026 but I could see how their faces changed from deep pain to incomparable peace and joy\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">We had Mass at 6:00 pm. Then we dined with them. They prepared a little soup with some fish &#8211; tum\u00e1 -, and since they have no cutlery, we ate the soup with a kind of \u201cbread,\u201d like pizza dough but made from corn. Later, by the firelight (there\u2019s no electricity, no cell phones, no Wi-Fi, no water\u2026) they wanted to offer us the best to welcome us: with a cuatro (a small guitar with 4 strings) they started singing\u2026 they sing very well! It\u2019s clear they love to sing and do it very, very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">That night it rained heavily\u2026 and we could sleep little. Mass at 7. Two couples decided to marry (one with 7 children and another with 5), and I also baptized two little children. The couples prepared themselves with a good confession, and they were happy, barefoot! (\u2026one of the young missionaries, knowing that one of the men was going to marry, gave him his sneakers \u201cfor his wedding\u201d). In fact, the children walk \u2013 some up to an hour \u2013 barefoot every day to come to school. They only have a pair of shoes. They put them on before entering the small school, and when they leave, they take them off so they don\u2019t wear out\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">We had to return soon to avoid arriving at night. All the Indians helped us dismantle the camp and carry the things, an hour walk to the river. We boarded, and I will never forget what I saw from the canoe: there were the Indians, happy, barefoot, singing\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">On the way back, another 8 hours. Rain, intense sun, thirst\u2026 but a spectacular landscape\u2026 The famous Tepuis accompanied us, we passed very close to Angel Falls\u2026 Absorbed in that paradisiacal beauty, I kept thinking inside: \u201cit was worth leaving home at 11 years old, it was worth the 19 years of formation, and it was worth waiting 15 years as a priest\u2026 just for <\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"40\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" height=\"15\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"15\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legrc.org\/regnum_db\/imagenes_db\/actualidad\/pemomes_03.png\" alt=\"Pemomes 03\" width=\"250\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"15\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" align=\"center\" height=\"2\"><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/legrc.org\/regnum_db\/imagenes_db\/actualidad\/pemomes_03.png\" target=\"new\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/legionariosdecristo.org\/espanol\/images\/new_ico_lupa.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"19\" height=\"15\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\"> those confessions, those marriages, and baptisms\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\"><strong>Without a priest for a year<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">And I asked God to send more workers to His harvest. They will not see a priest again, until a year from now, with God\u2019s grace. The entire area is currently guided by a single priest, Fr. Xavier, a Spanish priest from Barcelona. The extent he must cover is like the state of Texas, almost as large as Spain\u2026 And he is alone, as a few months ago, the Spanish priest Fr. Jaime, who accompanied him, passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">I learned so much from those Indians\u2026 I\u2019ll share some details: one man traveled an entire day from his home for Sunday Mass. Another man, already blind, has been going to Mass every Sunday since the missionaries visited him last year. And now during Holy Week, he didn\u2019t miss. Always in the front row, \u201cto see better.\u201d At the end of the Resurrection Mass, without any shame, he sang a wonderful prayer of thanksgiving to God at full lung. All of them know the act of contrition in Spanish, perfectly, for the end of confession. How they sing, how well, with what strength, with what intonation\u2026 as if it were to praise God!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">And I thought of our big cities\u2026 how many Masses every Sunday\u2026 and sometimes, how poor, how sad, how empty\u2026! We even arrive late to Mass without any remorse. Not to mention the sacrament of confession\u2026 These Indians, yes, with their struggles and difficulties, with their falls and problems, but how much they teach us to value the presence of Christ in the sacraments, how much they teach us to love God, to love others! And to do so with joy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">Yes, I want to return to Canaima next year, with a cross on my chest, with the Blessed Virgin Mary by my side, and with many, many more missionaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">To those in Spain, I would ask two things: pray for vocations, there is so much to do in these countries! And second, if you can help us with 20 euros \u2013 or whatever you can \u2013 it will be very helpful to prepare the next mission: medicines, milk, etc. (In July I will go to Segovia for my brother\u2019s wedding, and I could collect what is raised).<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">May God continue to bless you and do not stop valuing everything you have at your fingertips!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><span style=\"color: #333333;font-family: Arial\">Source <a href=\"http:\/\/lomasrc.blogspot.com.es\">Lo+RC<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P.
