“The Church is marching towards the year of Jubilee 2025. We join it with the motto: “Betharramites, pilgrims of hope.” We too want to join this walk, together with the People of God, who raise their heads, even though they pass through an often gloomy and challenging present.

“Sisters and brothers, this is the Jubilee. This is the season of hope in which we are invited to rediscover the joy of meeting the Lord. The Jubilee calls us to spiritual renewal and commits us to the transformation of our world, so that this year may truly become a time of jubilation. A jubilee for our mother Earth, disfigured by profiteering; a time of jubilee for the poorer countries burdened beneath unfair debts; a time of jubilee for all those who are in bondage to forms of slavery old and new.” (Pope Francis)

“Missionary Mary… She had to take care of Jesus, and let herself be taken care of by Joseph, but she did not want to forget to take care of Elizabeth. As a good mother, she encourages us to “launch ourselves” on mission, to console and proclaim with our lives that Betharramites belong to the Heart of Jesus, the One who has called us to follow him with an ever new “Here I am.” (Fr Gustavo Agín SCJ)

“This is the source of joy, that of a community gathered in the midst of the poor that does not need to be noticed in order to live the Gospel.
