We are living day by day... grateful for life... in an atmosphere of solidarity and sisterhood... the horizon has been opened to us in our prayer... it is not only Bogotá, it is not only Colombia... it is Spain, Italy, Africa... this gaze upon our world has led us to "feel and contemplate with his Heart the sufferings and hopes of humanity," to pray for all... We feel united with all and with the inhabitants of this humanity that experience fear, uncertainty, powerlessness... we all echo the cry for life...
