This year in Spain through the Navigare program has taught me so much. It has helped me to grow in ways I never thought possible and expose me to the amazing Spanish culture and language. From the great community of brothers to the amazing Spanish food, this year surrounded me with people who helped me to see the greatness God is calling me to.
Looking back on this year I can see that God is calling me to live a great and fruitful life. While this year in Spain has not been easy, it has grown my heart and given me the tools to overcome obstacles and run towards the path God is calling me to. It has opened my mind up in ways that I never thought were possible. From the amazing Spanish cathedrals to the magnificent works of art all around Europe, this year of Navigare helped me to see the amazing history of the Catholic Church.
The Disciples are a community of friendship and brotherhood that makes it possible to live a great and fruitful life not only for those within the community but also for every person the community touches. This year was an incredible opportunity to live alongside them and grow in my prayer life and friendships. When I recall all of the many places we went and the things we did, even in light of a global pandemic, it's helps me to realize that the lessons I learned on this year of Navigare are ones that can't be taken away, regardless of what obstacles I may face.
“Navigare necesse est, vivere non necesse est!” To sail is necessary. To live is not necessary.
