J.M. International Volunteer Program

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight
to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that
the time has come when the Lord will save his people.”
(Lk 4, 18-19)
