Conchita, Tell Us about Your Life
Conchita tells us about the foundation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit
Father Felix spent ten years in exile in Spain. When I traveled to Rome with Mons. Ibarra, and HH Pius X
gave his approval to found the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, we came back through France, so we could
talk to Fr Felix Superiors. Once we had their permission, Fr Felix arrived in Veracruz, Mexico, on August 14, 1914, in the
midst of the religious persecution. It wasn’t until October 24 that he could come to Mexico City, he came to see us and
told me: “I have not changed in regards to the Works of the Cross”. Fr Felix and Archbishop Ibarra brought together four
young men to be the first novices of this new congregation. On December 25, 1914, behind closed doors, the congregation
of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit was founded at 7am in the Chapel of “The Roses” in the foothills of Tepeyac.
In attendance were: Archbishop Ibarra, Father Felix, two of the four postulants, the owners of the Chapel, a few
other people and I. Mass was celebrated, the Pontifical Decree that granted permission to found the Congregation was
read and the names of the four novices. Archbishop finished with these words: “Father Felix will be your Novice Master.
Respect him, love him and obey him. He will teach you the true spirit of the Cross and
will help you become good religious men. May Jesus bless you, the way I bless you
now.” One by one they left, hiding from the military forces all around the city.
Archbishop Ibarra owned a small house close by, and he was delighted to
loan it to them to be the first Novitiate for the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit. There
they lived, lacking comfort, but with much joy.
Fr Felix and I had drafted the Constitutions back in 1904, and in 1910 they
were revised and given canonical form. After that there have been revisions and
updates, but the spirit remains the same.
“By Divine Will, we the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit have been called to
consecrate our lives to God as religious through radically following Christ Priest and
Victim, with the purpose of transforming ourselves into Him. We strive to share in his
priestly sentiments, and to master His virtues, above all love, purity and sacrifice.”
Conchita: Cuéntanos tu vida
Conchita nos habla sobre la fundación de los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo
El padre Félix pasó diez años desterrado en España. Cuando viajé a Roma con Mons. Ibarra, y SS Pío X dio
el permiso para fundar los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo, volvimos por Francia para hablar con los superiores del P.
Félix. Obtenido el permiso de ellos, el 14 de agosto de 1914 desembarcó el padre Félix en Veracruz, México, en medio
de la persecución religiosa. El 24 de octubre llegó a mi casa en la ciudad de México, me saludó diciendo: “Soy el
mismo para las Obras de la Cruz”. Junto con Mons. Ibarra reunieron a 4 jóvenes interesados en ser los primeros
novicios de la nueva congregación. El 25 de diciembre a las 7 de la mañana, a puertas cerradas, se fundó la
congregación de los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo en la Capilla de “las Rosas”, al pie del cerro del Tepeyac.
Estaban presentes: Mons. Ibarra, el padre Félix, dos de los 4 postulantes, los dueños de la capilla, algunas
personas más y yo. Se celebró la Misa, se leyó el Decreto Pontificio que autorizaba la fundación y los nombres de los 4
futuros novicios. Mons. Ibarra concluyó diciendo: “El padre Félix será su Maestro de Novicios. Respétenlo, ámenlo y
obedézcanlo. El les enseñará el genuino espíritu de la Cruz y hará de ustedes buenos religiosos. Que Jesús los bendiga
como ahora los bendigo yo.” De a poco todos se retiraron, a escondidas de las fuerzas militares que controlaban la
ciudad.
Cerca del Tepeyac Mons. Ibarra tenía una casa pequeña que les prestó para que fuera el primer noviciado de
los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo. Allí vivieron con falta de comodidades, pero mucha alegría los primeros tiempos del
Noviciado.
Las constituciones las habíamos escrito el padre Félix y yo desde 1904, en 1910 fueron revisadas y son las
que rigieron la nueva congregación por mucho tiempo. Desde entonces se han ido revisando y actualizando, pero el
espíritu es el mismo.
“Por voluntad divina, los Misioneros del Espíritu Santo hemos sido llamados a consagrarle a Dios nuestra
vida como religiosos, siguiendo radicalmente a Cristo Sacerdote y Víctima, con el propósito de transformarnos en Él.
Nos esforzamos por compartir sus sentimientos sacerdotales, y por conquistar sus virtudes, sobre todo el amor, la
pureza y el sacrificio.”

There is a Such Thing as a “Happily Ever After” Ending
Kianna Garmanian
Every year, I wait with great anticipation and excitement for the coming of another season of my
favorite TV show on Netflix. About a week ago, the fifth season of this show came to Netflix and I was thrilled to
watch the eleven new episodes. Each night after I finished my homework (and even when I didn’t), I popped a bag of
popcorn and watched one episode before going to bed.
With only one more episode left to watch, I brought my laptop, popcorn, and snacks to my bed and was
excited to view the grand finale. There were so many questions to be answered and mysteries to be solved. I couldn’t
wait to see how the fifth season of this Netflix show would conclude!
YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. In the final episode, one of the main characters
(who also is my favorite character) DIES!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! There was no way this could happen! What
would the show be like without him? He brought so much life, humor, and energy to the show. In fact, I am almost
considering not watching the sixth season when it comes out next year. I was so disheartened that I immediately called
my family and spent a long time expressing my anger toward the ending of my favorite show. It just didn’t make
sense… why did the main character have to die? Why couldn’t there have been a happily ever after ending?
After I got off the phone with my family and was still feeling a little upset, my thoughts turned to Jesus and
our faith. I contemplated on Jesus’ death on the cross and a new inspiration came to me. Think about this… what if
Jesus died on the cross and that was it? What if His death was final and there was no Resurrection? Our entire faith is
based on the Resurrection of our Lord, because through this, Jesus defeated sin, evil, and death once and for all!
Through His rising, we too can rise to eternal life with our Lord forever.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, how beautiful our faith is! Our faith has no ending and is not marked by
death. Christ did not die to be permanently removed from this world and our lives. In fact, it’s just the opposite! Jesus’
death brought about new life and marked the beginning of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the opening of the gates of
Heaven, and the chance for each of us to grow in a personal relationship with
our Lord.
