Intuition is something that gets inside the soul, and as time passes, will be demonstrating and taking shape more clearly.

The fraternity was born so, as an intuition! In the beginning was confusing, uncertain, veiled, intuitive ... The only thing I knew was that the Good Lord had touched me, gently but powerfully, in a way never done. He felt his chest burning with flames of divine love, the heart racing and a huge desire to change, to be different. To this I call a conversion!

How it all began? It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment and I think, that it be the fact that conversion is a gradual process and not something instantaneous or watertight, capable of being photographed. What I can see as something more close to that blast, which marked the beginning of this new life, was my contact with young people who came from Satanic and dark world of drugs and that after a real personal encounter with our Lord, made a superhuman effort to keep "clean", without the use of chains of diabolical toxic that even then imprisoned. I remember a conversation with them as I was gasping between breaths, with sweat bathing his face: "You're not easy to face! I'm giving my best, but the 'stuff''re difficult to handle. " That sounded like a slap in the face. As a young man who, having nothing to lose, made a violent effort to stay sober and I, who one day decided to be all of God, setting my life to Christ, our Lord, the holy consecration still leading a life mediocre, without even making a third effort was that this young man to change my life? Ashamed of myself and from that blessed day I set out, in a tone of such oath, before Heaven and Earth, "God, whatever happens, I'll change!".

It was the beginning of the great love story that the Holy God wanted to accomplish in a profound way with me and that only now, after a long and terrible time I had accepted to live.

And now? What direction to take? I did not know! That's when little by little, the Divine Wisdom has placed people in my path. God well knew that alone I could not not have the strength. No changes alone! God sent two angels, Sonia and Marcia and put each one on my side. They were the first witnesses of the Mercy of God had done with me. With them he spent long hours in holy living, of holy conversation, tore the heart, dreamed, prayed ... comes the first seed of what would later become The Way.

Sonia, now called Sister Servant of the Hidden Wounds of the Crucified, leaving everything behind, family, work, dreams, security guards, became the mother and co-founder of the work.

Marcia continues to this day very close to us, exercising his ministry among the young, especially in education.

There are many details, the richness of each meeting, people were coming, it would be impossible to name them all here, though the story continues ...
