Background: At UC3M, having a chapel is institutionally prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In secret, like the early Christians in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/actualidad\/catacumbas-cristianas-roma\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"25549\">catacombs <\/a>Roman Catholic, they began by celebrating Masses in classrooms, eventually filling the parishes closest to the Legan\u00e9s and Getafe campuses. With activity also growing in Colmenarejo and even Puerta de Toledo, the association organizes Masses and adoration, along with talks, trips, sports events, volunteer opportunities, pilgrimages, and more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this academic year, for the first time at \u201cTotus Tuus,\u201d classrooms in the library began to be reserved for catechism classes for students who wished to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. With other university students serving as catechists and about twenty people attending the weekly sessions regularly, this initiative culminated in the Confirmations the other day at the parish of Our Lady of Butarque in Legan\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s over, so to speak. Actually, it\u2019s just beginning. Because when the Holy Spirit breathes upon us, our soul takes flight. How beneficial it is for us to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit: He is eager to make us happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I'm smiling now from the beach, because a child is flying his kite. And as the wind blows, the kite soars.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nunca saldr\u00e1 en ning\u00fan telediario, pero hace un par de domingos dieciocho estudiantes de la universidad Carlos III de Madrid recibieron el sacramento de la Confirmaci\u00f3n.
