Writer and author passionate about life
"As a writer, I have had the privilege of meeting and listening to the hearts of many people from different cultures, with unique talents and many children. Each of them has ignited a strong inspiration in me, leading me to tell their stories and the extraordinary beauty of life that God has instilled in human beings. Being able to capture and transmit so much beauty, especially from those who have been able to get up, transform themselves and shine, expressing gratitude towards the Lord despite enormous difficulties, is an experience that cannot leave anyone indifferent. Instead, I hope to raise in everyone the question of why they love God so deeply. And how I too feel this love in my full gratitude."
"The mouth speaks of the fullness of the heart." (Matthew 15:18). Every day I live with a burning sense of gratitude for the love that the Lord offers me, a love that envelops and transforms me. Every dream I have nurtured has come true thanks to Him. His love not only fills my life but surpasses every limit: it cannot be contained, it never runs out, and it never abandons me. I will never be able to repay Him, for the love of Jesus is immeasurable. However, in my human fragility, I unite my imperfections with the perfect humanity of Christ and the sublime perfection of divine love. If what I write, tell, or photograph turns out to be beautiful and meaningful, dear friends, know that it is only through God that I am able to realize it; I offer it into His loving hands so that it may become an instrument of His will. He is capable of everything. He is my essence. Anything that may appear less good or imperfect comes from my human vulnerability. Therefore, if something good should emerge and someone should attribute it to me, it would mean that my mission has been in vain; my only desire remains to allow Christ to touch the hearts of each of you. Only when you feel the embrace of the Lord's merciful love will every prayer of mine have been answered, and the mission to which I have been called will be fulfilled. May the Lord fill you with every possible blessing.
"Life is a journey of continuous transformation, full of love, hope, and trust in God. We are a Catholic family, with our complexities like all families, but what matters is that we love each other very much! To love while remaining united forever, I think means to love just as Christ loves us. This means listening to the other with the heart in a moment of silence, showing respect and kindness, taking care of the other with tenderness and resilience, always keeping a loving gaze directed towards them. It also means forgiving and having an ocean of mercy and joy. Because when we can share tears in difficult moments, it is even more beautiful to be able to smile and laugh together to lighten what may frighten us in tribulations. We embrace life with all its challenges, firmly believing that there is a reason for everything under this sky. Indeed, everything contributes to the good of those who love God. When you trust in God's eternal love, you also believe that by loving as He loves you, authentic love can evolve, grow, and transform you, because it has this transforming power. But remember, it can never end. Love is eternal, precisely because love is God."
