VErrality with appearance of defeat
ITotal Notence Chopped in Peste
EThe light on light rests now
RUge life, in clamorous death.
Nor imagine, or far away, their executioners
EThe triumph already announced, which is approaching
SThey believe in their vices many
Sin future, in its short fierce life.
ABrázame, oh Christ, at this time
NUnca, like today, your cross I need
TSkipping, dishonor
OWorship in your sores, you are my help.

I am husband since 2008. With my wife we have three children here and one who went to heaven in 2023, before birth. Since I joined ACI Press in 2005, I have had the opportunity to cover various events of the Catholic Church. Among them, the World Youth Days in Colonia, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro and the apostolic trips of Pope Benedict XVI to Mexico and Pope Francis to South Korea. I have been sent to the Vatican to cover the family’s synods, in 2015; of the Amazon, in 2019 and that of Sinodality, in 2023. I follow the situation of the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which suffers the persecution of the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, as well as the ecclesial news in the region.
