Dialogue and Encounter No. 38 – November 2025

The magazine Diálogo y Encuentro, issue 38, dedicated to the beginning of the Vedruna Bicentennial celebrations, invites us to return to the living roots of Saint Joaquina’s charism and to recognize how her fire continues to inspire and energize the mission today throughout the world. Through reflections, testimonies, educational experiences, missionary stories, and the voice of the General Team, this edition leads us to contemplate the “shoots” that keep sprouting within the Vedruna Family: the desire that inspires, the spirituality that sustains, the mission that liberates, and the commitment that transforms. Looking with gratitude to the past and with hope to the future, this issue encourages us to be born anew, to renew our identity, and to widen the space of our tent so we may continue embracing, like Joaquina, the needs of the world with a love that never says “enough.”
