Mountain Man

Later in the evening on Sunday, Fr. Jorge and I traveled to the mountains of central Costa Rica so that he could preside over a mass in a “pueblo” called Puriscal; a little over an hour from San Jose. This was a most enjoyable experience. It was just He and I accompanied by tranquil conversation and useful practice of Spanish learning new words and phrases. His homily was tied in with Franciscan charism and lay vocations; perhaps the most passionate homilist I have seen. I think that’s important, because he held a captive audience and left them with ideas to reflect on.

"Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion."
-Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
