The winners were eight entities and personalities of Spanish life, in a gala that took place in a festive atmosphere, with the attendance of more than a hundred people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the ceremony, the rector of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, Daniel Sada, emphasized that the magazine \"is one of those stories that are worthwhile. And it is worthwhile because of the number of stories of light that Mission allows us to know and that on a day like today is concentrated in some award winners who represent that light\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subsequently, Isabel Molina Estrada, director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revistamision.com\/premios-mision-2025-gala\/\">Mission magazine<\/a><em>,<\/em> recalled how \"the dominant ideologies have led men and women to lose sight of the very high vocation to which they are called\". Molina made an important appeal: \"God has given each one of us, each family, a mission. What we do not do for Him in terms of sacrifices, prayer, work and dedication, no one else will do. Your mission and that of your family are unique and unrepeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/PremiosMision25IsabelMolina-Direc-torapremios5-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53830\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Isabel Molina, director of Misi\u00f3n magazine, at the Mission 2025 Awards gala. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Families, parishes, volunteers, influencers...&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first winners this year 2025 were the family of Pablo and Lola, a married couple from Madrid, parents of 6 children, three of them adopted and with special needs. The parish of San Ram\u00f3n Nonato de Vallecas, in the person of its parish priest, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/foco\/entrevista-horcajo-vallecas\/\">Jos\u00e9 Manuel Horcajo<\/a>an example of how to help those most in need while evangelizing\". And Mar Dorrio, @whynottwelve, mother of 12 children, writer and lecturer, \"whose experience has helped thousands of Catholic families in the education of their children\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, the award was given to the N\u00e1rtex Association, volunteers who have been \"showing the Gospel through art in churches and cathedrals in Spain and Europe\" for 19 years, in the person of its president, Isabel Fern\u00e1ndez.

Salvador Romero explained that \"Providence began to manifest itself from the very first moment\". And although it was \"like a horror movie\", there was \"an experience of authentic blessings, of many miracles and a truly scandalous evidence that God is always present\".&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Yes to Life March<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last award went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/foco\/marcha-si-a-la-vida-madrid\/\">Yes to Life March<\/a>which brings together more than 500 associations and every year brings thousands of people to the streets in defense of the dignity of all human life. Alicia Latorre recalled that official statistics alone show that more than three million babies have been prevented from being born in Spain due to abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Javier Cereceda LC, territorial director of the Legionaries of Christ in Spain, encouraged those present to let the Holy Spirit act in their lives. The award winners show, he said, that \"the Lord wants to and can act through you and this is a miracle of hope. In this world that needs this light of hope, you show that you can believe that the Holy Spirit wants to act in you\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Misi\u00f3n has more than 50,000 subscribers throughout Spain and is linked to the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, the Regnum Christi movement and the Legionaries of Christ.
