Who are the Mexican people and why do we love them so very much? How did we, two kids born in New York, come to know the Mexican people? I believe it started with God sending our family to Southern California. But it wasn't until we went on our individual Cursillos that we really met any Mexicans. Although it was an English-speaking retreat, most of the retreatants were Mexican-Americans. On that weekend, when I got the Lord's message to find Him in the people around me, I balked: How could I find Him in a personal way from brothers and sisters who spoke predominantly Spanish, most of whom also came from the poorest barrios (Mexican ghettos)? And so, God was preparing us for this time and this walk with our Mexican cousins from the South; but because of my bull-headedness, I had to wait to know them and ultimately love them.
