Lima (Peru), 01/21/2018, Hna. Maribel Burgos Ugaz.- It was an unforgettable day! One day to keep it in my heart! I saw my people thirsting for faith! It was a true feast of faith!
This experience of participating in the service of Ministers of the Eucharist at the Mass of Pope Francis, celebrated in Lima with the presence of more than a million and a half people, has personally signified a blessing and a special grace from God.

The logistics was well designed. We were organized in small chapels within the sectors, worshiping the Blessed Sacrament in the Eucharist from 9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m., which began the mass. It was a day full of faith and hope for our Peruvian Church; also for me, my Congregation and my family. There, we ask the Lord of Miracles, through the intercession of the Peruvian saints, for the increase and sanctity of future vocations in this "Ensantada" land, as Pope Francis said.
Not only the emotion has seized me, but something deeper that springs from the joy of having listened to the Pope's message, the commitment to put into practice, to respond to the call of the Lord, the Gospel, the people ... The invitation is for all.
