The gen ! (: Focolaris Movement - (L)


And now I present to you the young adults from the Focolaris Movement: THE GEN !!! The truth is that every time I think about what I am going to write about now for my English Blog the ideas that come to my mind are all about O'higgins, the movement and these incredible persons I have presented to you some lines above. Maybe the reason why is that I am truly in love with these people and this charisma we live for . . . Yesterday was a month anniversary since Lu Buffo past away. She was and is still a gen - Although, we don't have her physically speaking she is always by our side and even with a greater presence - She is now one of God's saints. So, yesterday we all came together to have a special mass in her memory. It was a unique moment because we felt her stronger than ever before and also because her parents said some words that are indescribable that made us feel proud of had been her friend and companion. What I loved in the most about yesterday was the fact that all of us, the young adults from the Movement, were bound by the same charisma and spirit that we chose to live in every moment of our life. And the mass was a proof of our strength and our commitment as well as our love for each other.

These people from the pictures are so SPECIAL to me - they mean so much that I can't imagine leaving them in the end of the year , and I don't want to even think about it. I know that I have to live this present moment and I am doing it but I have learned so much from them and I have lived so many experiences with each of them that they are more than friends to me - At this point they are like BROTHERS AND SISTERS !!! : )

Sometimes what I feel is so strong that makes me cry, but not because of sadness but because of joy and happiness . . Life has a great meaning for me since the moment I met them - Now I am able to say that I have something really worth living for.
