On Saturday 5 September, at the Loyola Sanctuary, three Jesuits took their first vows in the Society of Jesus: Anselmo Jesus Rabadan Linares (Baena, 1993), Francisco Delgado Oliver (Palma de Mallorca, 1995) and Luis Arranz Gil-Albarellos (Valladolid, 1997). The limited capacity and the measures of distance and the use of masks were not an obstacle to the emotion and affection that every glance and gesture of family, friends and fellow Jesuits transmitted in the Basilica.

On this occasion a vocational video was shown with their testimonies and those of other Jesuits of the province. In it. Francis explained the steps involved in taking the vows: "This journey brings its harshness, its difficulties, but this is not at odds with the fullest happiness and the beauty of meeting people, on the road, with whom you would never have imagined establishing such a full relationship”. In their words and in the promise they made, you can sense the passion that beats in each one of them - and in so many others like them. Passion for Jesus and his Gospel, for serving his project in the Church, and for doing so with others with whom they share dreams and devotions.
