God who has created everything! I was only 12 when I went to the seminary. During the festivities of St.Cecília, a celebration with music all day long, at the moment of blessing I asked for the Lord: If the music were important in my priesthood, please help me to learn it! (You can imagine, a boy could not have such idea.... it was the hands of God). Some days later I was making part of the band, I was learning a musical instrument, later in the choral and finally I was learning piano. God had answered me and then the music showed up in my life.

Fr. Haroldo, who I had already known through the Youth Praying Meetings (TLC), he came to prepare a retreat of one day for seminarians. I had striven to participate and I got it. He didn't have much time, only one or two hours in the morning and the Holy Mass, it was in the afternoon.
After the Mass, he offered himself to pray asking for the gift of baptism in the Spirit. I did not know about Charismatic Renewal; I did not understand what could be the gifts of Spirit acting in the life of the people and I did not understand what was the baptism in the Holy Spirit, but I wanted it from the bottom of my heart.
He had prayed for me and I did not feel anything.
Therefore during that night I prayed as I have never prayed before; all resentments, which hurt and made me suffer before they disappeared. Of course it did not happen immediately.
I was not what God wanted, but I have not been what I was anymore!
