I AM THE ITNERANT PRIEST OF C.N.C. IN CHARGE OF THE WAY IN PORTUGAL – WHO GOD PUT ON MARTA’S PATH IN THE MOMENT OF CRISIS IN HER LIFE. WE FOUND OURSELVES IN “SAN MEDEL” WITH THE SISTERS ESTELLA AND SONIA […] AFTER AN INTERESSING CONVERSATION ABOUT THE PLANS THAT GOD HAS OVER OUR LIVES SHE EXPRESSED THE DESIRE TO CONFESS. I MARVELLED OVER THE NOBLE SENTIMENTS WHICH SHE HAD; THE DETERMINED DESIRE TO GIVE HERSELF TO THE LORD, HER IRON WILL TO DEDICAR HER LIFE TO THE EVANGILIZATION AS THE MEMBERS OF THE NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY DO. I INVITED HER TO GO TO THE CATECHISIM CLASS FOR ADULTS AND SHE WAS SO CONVINCED OF THE CALLING OF THE LORD THAT SHE STOOD UP TO BE AN ITINERANT, LEAVING EVERYTHING. THE LORD FOUND HER PREPARED FOR THE SACRIFICE REWARDING HER GOOD DESIRES. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL SERVE AS MODEL FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY. In another message
TO FR. SATURNINO, IN ORDER TOINFORM HIM AND PUT MYSELF AT HIS DISPOSITION. I AM THE ITNERANT PRIEST OF THE NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY, INCHARGE OF THE WAY IN PORTUGAL. I HAD THE GRACE TO FAVOUR MARTA’S ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD. FROM THEN ON, AS YOU SO WELL SAY IN YOUR ARTICLE, FULL OF JOY, SHE THREW HER SELF INTO KNOWING THE LORD AND THE PLANES THAT HE HAD FOR HER LIFE. I EXPLAINED TO HER THE PANORAMA OF HOW MARVELLOUS IT IS TO GIVE ONES LIFE TO THE LORD IN THE NEW EVANGILIZATION AND I ENCOURAGED HER TO GET TO KNOW THE NEOCATECHUMENAL WAY AND ATTEND THE CATECHISUM CLASSES. SHE WAS SO IMPRESSED BY ALL THIS THAT SOON SHE STOOD UP TO BE AN ITINERANT, LEAVING EVERYTHING. I HAVE THE GREAT JOY OF HAVING KNOWN HER AND THAT TROUGH ME SHE WQAS ABLE TO ENCOUNTER THE MERCY OF GOD IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WOULD CHANGE HER LIFE COMPLETELY AND DEFINITIVELY UNTIL MATYERDOM. MAY GOD, THROUGH HER INTERCESSION, GIVE US THE COURAGE TO DEFEND OUR FAITH LIKE MARTA DID.
