“It’s like he was thinking of me when he wrote it”

Personal testimonies 08/04/2026

Nearly forty years ago, Natale Sandoli left Venezuela for Tenerife. A photographer, husband, and father of three, he’s the first to admit he wasn't much of a churchgoer back then. That changed when a friend handed him a copy of “The Forge.”

The Eternal Current of Friendship: The Raising of Lazarus

ebook: “Go and Do Likewise: Love, Justice, and Dialogue in Today’s World”

Doctrinal Articles 07/28/2026

This ebook is an invitation to rediscover love of neighbour as the compass of the Christian life, beginning with the parable of the Good Samaritan. It explores the principles of the Church’s social doctrine — justice, solidarity, the common good — and the challenge of building genuine dialogue in a fragmented world. We are called to live the faith with initiative, public presence, and openness to those who think differently.
