Italy – First day of recollection by the new Primary ADMA Spiritual Animator Fr Gabriel Cruz
Thursday, 08 February 2024 00:00Cumiana, Italy – February 2024 – On Sunday, 4 February, Father Gabriel Cruz, SDB, led the day of recollection for the Primary Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) for the first time since his appointment as the new animator of the association, which took place on 1 January. To welcome him, at Rebaudengo in Cumiana there was a large "family of families" walking under the mantle of Mary. The theme of the recollection, included in the formation course for the year, focused on the dream at 9 years of age, leading to the International Congress of Mary Help of Christians in Fatima (29 August – 1 September 2024), was: "The Mystery of the Name: you know what you live". It was an opportunity to reflect on the fact that God, as he did with Don Bosco, calls each one by name and gives a mission that must be lived in faith and perseverance, with the certainty that "in good time" everything will be understood. In addition to catechesis, Fr Cruz dedicated ample space to recounting the personal journey that led him to ADMA. With a joyful smile and great simplicity, the Salesian told of his birth in Mexico, of his encounter with the Salesian world, of entering the seminary chosen "almost by chance", of his desire to be sent on mission, accepted after 10 years of service in initial formation, in prisons and with street youth in Mexico City, and then of the years of mission in Pakistan.
