La Escalera: a book about confidence, overcoming and faith in the midst of a difficult war.
I present in this post the book I recently published. It is intended to be a hymn to trust. Trust in God, which is obtained only by approaching Him. Trust in oneself, which is obtained by acting as correctly as possible, without paying much attention to what is said around you. Trust [...]
Hazte Oir: we are going crazy
These days a bus with a message from Hazte Oir has been circulating in Madrid. The reaction generated has been great. It is worth thinking about what happened and learn to look in other directions also in search of peace. We need to recover harmony.
Human Rights and Impartial Justice (II)
It could be a serious violation of human rights: Jamal Zougam is serving a sentence of more than 42,000 years and has been imprisoned for thirteen years for crimes that everything seems to indicate that he did not commit and with which he had no connection.
Human Rights and Impartial Justice
A few hours ago I was reading an article in El País by a well-known Spanish politician, entitled "Spain, shelter of freedom". In it, the author proudly explains -and rightly so- how some people whose human rights have been violated and who are persecuted by the justice system in their respective Latin American countries have been able to obtain in Spain [...]
Surprising tribute to the Virgin Mary
Yesterday, December 8, we celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.

It all started, as it usually happens in the best occasions, in a casual way. We had had a meeting next to the street [...]
It seems that the Holy Grail is in León.
Not long ago Margarita Torres Sevilla, professor of Medieval History at the University of León, heard from Doctor Gustavo Turienzo, PhD in Arabic Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid and member of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies of the Complutense University, the story about some documents that, by chance, he had found [...]
Love your enemies
This was yesterday's Gospel... Mt 5, 43-48: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your heavenly Father, who makes his sun rise on the evil ones and on the [...]
Lion, the Holy Grail and parliamentarism
Some good friends have celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and they called us in León to do with them as much of the Camino de Santiago as we can. They are going to do it walking from León to Santiago. More than 300 kilometers. In my case, I was only able to join them for two days. The first [...]
