My pPriestly oOrdination
On August 20 I recivedreceived, through the hands of Bishop Luis Martín, the ministry of
the priesthood, in the city of Torreón, Coahuila, México. The sacrament was celebrated in the
parish of Our Lady of Fátima, parish where I was baptized. Priestly ordination was a time of
grace and joy for my family and , the congregation, but, especially for the congregation parish
community,because for my parish community had never been held a priestly ordination until
minehad never been held there. The Mass was full of missionary symbols: flags, colors, songs.
One of the most emotional moments was the procession of missionary offerings, because, people
carried their offerings whitwearing traditional costumes from different countries. After the
celebration, the joy continued with a party where there was food, traditional dances, mariachi,
and tequila.
