HIS CHARISMATIC BEING

Father Luis Amigó y Ferrer, was without a doubt a man inhabited by the Spirit. Among the many features that demonstrate this, we highlight some:

The childhood and early youth of José María Amigó and Ferrer, tested by suffering, left in him the “mark” of God's mercy, of “going out” of himself to see the needs of others.
Luis Amigó, a man of prayer, hanging from the hand of God, always trusting in divine providence. A grateful man, seeing in everything the will of the Lord in his life.
An affectionate and friendly man, with a sense of humor, serene, of great strength, with an unusual sensitivity that led him to respect, appreciate and deeply value people.
A man who looks, listens to reality, allows himself to be affected by it and discerns the best way to respond creatively, to the need, to the signs of the times, always "for the greater glory of God", which is the good of the person.
A passionate, merciful and compassionate man in the face of suffering, death, helplessness ... decisive, bold, with a vision of the future, always looking forward, supported by the strength of having given his life to the Lord, at the service of the weakest
A man with the ability to inspire, enthuse, and commit many people to follow Jesus.
A man who showed forgiveness and peace as signs of the evangelical and Franciscan life.

Luis Amigó was an obedient but energetic Capuchin; a simple religious, living in minority and fraternity; a loving father, as the founder of his two congregations; a vigilant pastor, and dedicated as bishop in the dioceses where he was assigned, until the end of his days.

The Introduction to his Autobiography, written by Archbishop Javier Lauzurica, who was his great friend, includes a beautiful portrait of our Founder: “The depth of his being, peace; his clothing, humility. It was his life to run meekly from a river, without steep slopes or overflows that overflow the channel. As he passed, the flowers of all virtue bloomed: charity, poverty, humility, obedience, austerity, sacrifice … The goodness of his beautiful soul radiated in the smile that illuminated his face; smile that not even death could erase. He possessed, like few others, the rare gift of an unalterably serene life, without relief, without glare, silent on the pure surface of a deep spiritual channel … “
