From NICARAGUA     
Nicaragua Present! Our Redemptorist brothers attended the meeting and the subsequent sending of pilgrims led by Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, archbishop of Managua. If it is true that the situation in Nicaragua is very difficult in recent months, the prophetic spirit of the young Catholics of this country continues to teach the continent what it means to defend peace, justice, and solidarity.
