My greatest memory is:

Discovering my home in the church through Lazos de Amor Mariano

Presented by: Maria Fernanda Acosta

The First Step — “My path of consecration”

For nine months I undertook a beautiful process of consecration to Jesus through Mary. The nine months of preparation were divided into four sections.

THE BIG DAY: THE IMPOSITION OF THE SHIRT

Are you willing to respond to God's call to you today, with the same dedication and joy with which I once received my missionary T-shirt?t?

Thank you so much!

2. knowledge of myself: looking inside.

In inner silence, I discovered my weaknesses, but also the strength God has placed within me. This was a step toward healing, forgiving, and allowing myself to be molded by Mary's love.

3. Learn from Mary

She was my teacher and role model. Through her example, I understood what it means to say "yes" with faith, trust, and purity of heart.

My happy moment: wearing the shirt.

Here begins the story of my total surrender to Jesus through Mary. A path of consecration, love, and mission that marked my life forever.

4. Knowing and loving Jesus

The whole process led me to a profound encounter with Jesus. I learned that loving him also means carrying the cross with joy and hope, always trusting in his will.

The imposition and the eternal memory

And finally, the most anticipated moment arrived: the imposition of the T-shirt. When they placed it on me, I felt like I wasn't just wearing a garment, but rather a mission. That T-shirt represented my total dedication to Jesus through Mary, my commitment to faithfully live my baptismal promises, and to proclaim the Gospel with love and joy.

The call to receive the shirt

After a long journey of training, the most anticipated moment arrived: the call to receive the missionary T-shirt. A gift from God for me and my soul. The following video shows that moment.

My preparation: Two years on the road

Before experiencing the big day, I spent two years walking alongside the Lazos de Amor Mariano community. They were years of formation, prayer, and service, during which I learned to live the love of Jesus through Mary. In every encounter, retreat, and mission, my heart was shaped by the grace and witness of my fellow missionaries.

1. Raise Your Gaze: The World

I understood the state of the world today: full of confusion, sin, and false ideologies. This step helped me awaken spiritually and recognize the urgent need to bring Christ into people's hearts.
