DALLAS—A sus 13 años Esteban Guerrero, está listo para comenzar una nueva etapa como estudiante de preparatoria.
La Academia San Felipe y San Agustín (SPSA) fue su hogar durante una década y en el otoño comenzará noveno grado en Cristo Rey Dallas College Prep.
“Me siento triste, feliz y nervioso porque ya no es la escuela secundaría, es preparatoria y va a ser muy diferente”, comentó el joven con una sonrisa nerviosa.
Atraído por la independencia que cultivan los jóvenes al experimentar el modelo de estudio y trabajo en Cristo Rey, Guerrero descubrió en ese plantel el escalón perfecto para avanzar hacia sus planes post-secundarios.

God came to my house today. Those were the words spoken by a young boy named Cesar as he looked at me. I did not hear them myself; another missionary later shared them with me. Cesar, perhaps 10 years old, has cerebral palsy. He comes from a poor yet deeply loving family living in the heart of Mexico.
“Dios vino a mi casa hoy”. Esas fueron las palabras de un niño mexicano llamado César, mientras me miraba. Yo no las escuché personalmente. Otro misionero me las compartió después. César, de unos diez años quizá, tiene parálisis cerebral. Proviene de una familia pobre, pero profundamente amorosa, que vive en Puebla, en la región centro-oriente de México.
Su casa era sencilla, pero hermosa en su dignidad. En las paredes colgaban un crucifijo y una imagen de la Última Cena. A su alrededor había familiares que se turnaban para cuidarlo. Ellos brindaban ayuda y César les ofrecía algo igual de importante: compañía, alegría y sonrisas.

When the 8:21 a.m. train left Rome’s Termini Station to Castel Gandolfo July 12, people packed like sardines into the regional cars.

On the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, Estefania received a visit that she felt came to answer her prayers. On May 13, missionaries from Dallas arrived at her home in southwest Puebla, Mexico, bringing a brand-new wheelchair for her son, Omar, along sandy, gravel roads.
