Carrying the Torch
Beginning our fourth year, we have wanted to reconsider the objectives and the way in which to continue with our magazine. Each time we are increasingly aware of the privileged place that we occupy in the history of the faith, and increasingly aware that we have little time left.
In these three years we have gone on giving our own testimony of faith, and we give thanks to God to allow us to do this. But from the past we receive clear and inspired voices that want to be made heard: they are the voices of our brothers and sisters that had a very clear vision of God’s glory and of His will in their time. Their voices are not being heard today, due to the trade that surrounds us. Their message is not very attractive for those who look for an easy road and an immediate solution. Some of them have never been published in Spanish. They would never appear in the lists of best selling books in the bookstores. Their wealth is almost hidden, destined only for those who search for spiritual treasures.
We wanted to unite our weak voices with those individuals, because they were before us, and because we have drunk from them. We wanted to take the torch that they have left when passing away and to continue sustaining the testimony that they sustained. We won't be the only ones; we will simply occupy the place that the Lord reserved for us in this work.
If their message –and ours– wake up something that was sleeping within you, or if it opens a new horizon, write to us and we will give you more, more than what these few pages can contain.
May the Lord help you and us, to carry the torch further, to where the Lord wants.
