Things are at rest when they are in their proper place. The proper place for the heart of a human being is in the Heart of God.” St. Augustine
I got to know Br. Julio Munoz seven years ago when we worked together on the formation team here at the seminary. I was immediately impressed by his dedication to the brothers. Soon I discovered where he found his seemingly boundless energy: in the Eucharist. Watch his testimony here as he recounts the most exciting night in his life and the happiest night in his life.
