That information was imbedded deeply in my mind, and when the day of the 25th of
MARCH arrived, I prayed, with much devotion the TWO THOUSAND HAILMARYS,
requesting of the Blessed Virgin Mary, THREE GRACES: TO BE SALESIAN, TO BE A
PRIEST, AND TO BE A MISSIONARY…and I confidently awaited in the fulfillment of the
promise of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
On the 16th of July, 1935, after serving in Holy Mass, my companion DANIEL ARA and
I, went on a excursion or stroll by the forests and hills, not far from the city of Gerona, where we
were doing the Novitiate, in preparation for the RELIGIOUS SALESIAN PROFESSION.
Towards the middle of the day, when we reunited with our Superiors, who accompanied us in the
excursion, communicated to us the sad news that my companion DANIEL ARA, when trying to
jump a brook, lost his balance and fell into the water and drowned.
On the 17th, a memorable day, at ten o’clock in the morning we began the spiritual
Exercises in preparation for the religious Profession, that took place the 27th of JULY. At that
moment, I realized, that the FIRST GRACE requested on the 25 of MARCH, 1933: TO BE
SALESIAN was fulfilled.
In July 18th, 1936, the Spanish revolution and persecution exploded, in which we had to
leave the Seminary running the risk to be captured and assassinated, as it happened with
hundreds of thousands. These were hard and difficult years. The Spanish civil war finally ended
on the First of APRIL, 1939, with the defeat of Spanish Communists, by the troops of General
Franco, we would be able to return to our Religious Houses to continue our studies in
preparation for the priesthood.
ON THE 15TH OF JUNE, 1946, in the Seminary Chapel of Madrid, I was ordained a
priest together with TWENTY SALESIAN COMPANIONS, by the Bishop of MADRID, Mons.
Leopoldo Eijo and Garay. The SECOND GRACE, requested on the 25th of MARCH, 1933, had
been fulfilled.
On the 30th of AUGUST, 1952, I arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to begin my apostolic
missionary work in the poorest district of San Juan. And the THIRD GRACE REQUESTED
MARCH 25th, 1933, became reality: TO BE A MISSIONARY. After ELEVEN LONG YEARS
of missionary work in Puerto Rico, I was invited by Bishop MONS. JOSE FELIX PINTADO, to
go to help him in the EASTERN SALESIAN MISSIONS OF ECUADOR, considered like
WATERING a DRY TREE, from December 4th, 1964 to the present day, the Blessed VIRGIN
Mary had fulfilled her promises.
