Reflections on Palautian Spirituality


Sr. Ma. Divina Gracia N. Gamarcha, CM
Philippines

Fr. Francisco Palau was a man of his time. He was very much aware of the realities that surrounded him, yet, with full conviction he chose to live the values he inherited from his pious family. He has a lot of dreams and was enthusiastic to discover the meaning of his own existence.

He confessed that since childhood, he was possessed and was dominated by a passion called love. Inspired by this irresistible force, he search for his beloved – the Church! He searched for her in the austerities of religious life, in fasting, silence, and poverty. He has an excellent attitude of listening to the Holy Spirit which in due time revealed to him the mission of becoming a father in the Church and of the Church.
