1 October "International Day of Ascending Life"

Dear friends:

Today, the International Day of Ascending Life is celebrated for the first time.

The date was chosen by the participants of the 9th meeting of Life Ascending International last November in Santo Domingo, on the proposal of Peru's Ascending Life.

It is a great joy for us to celebrate this very important event, we who are part of this beautiful movement, that came to our lives in a timely manner.

It is a place where we have been able to grow in spirituality, where we have made new friends who want to continue to travel together on the path of life with Jesus, where we help each other in difficult times and where we can sow the Good News of the Gospel mainly in our families and among our friends, wherever the Lord sends us.

It is a place where we have learned that we still have a lot to give, that we remain active and hopeful people at our age, where we feel united to share with those who have less than us,  thanking each day for the life that has been given to us.

I encourage all communities of Latin American Ascending Life and all over the world to celebrate this day with great happiness so that we feel closer than ever despite the distances.

Dear brothers and sisters,  may the Lord bless you and with all my  love,

Susana
