Pastoral exhortations of Fray LuisAmigo
Christ-Redeemer
Merciful love
The Virgin Mary and St. Francis
Luis Amigo published throughout his life 48 pastoral exhortations which are
considered as authentic teachings full of more lofty spirituality. And in those
teachings is revealed a vision of Christ- Redeemer, woven by merciful love
and supplemented with spiritual figures as the Virgin Mary and St. Francis of
Assisi.
The Christ of LuisAmigo is a Redeemer Christ that constitutes the way, truth
and life for the lost sheep who are to be guided by the figure of the Good
Shepherd. This merciful love is the most genuine expression of the
redemptive work of Christ.
For Luis Amigo participation in the redemptive work of Christ, which should
mark the life of every Christian, is realized in collaboration with the Good
Shepherd to attract into its fold the lost sheep.
The mystery of the Cross becomes the crucial point of the teaching of Luis
Amigo. It is in this that the paschal meaning of suffering and anguish are
explained. Without the cross one cannot love nor suffer when you are not
capable to love.
The merciful love that God shows to man in Christ is, for LuisAmigo, the final
argument by which man is called to respond to God, loving Him as our
preferential option, wholeheartedly, without measure.
Luis Amigo shows the Virgin Mary as the most loyal and intimate
collaborator in the work of Christ the Redeemer. Also shows her as a model
of love and mercy.
Fray Luis Amigo also presents St. Francis as the most perfect reflection of
Christ. The burning figure of St. Francis serves to highlight Luis Amigo´s
redemptive spirit, restorer and reformer which underlie all his theological
thought and whose only center is Christ the Redeemer.

my daughter, Stephanie, received through the

for this favor.
And once againJorge Eliécer Guzman Charria, Valledupar-Colombia
I will never be tired of giving thanks for the intercession of Luis Amigo. Encouraged
by the testimonies that I have seen in this bulletin, I decided to make a seven-day
prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows. And before finishing the last day I was called to job
interviews.And now I am enjoying an excellent job.
If you have some difficulties in finding a job, say the sevenfold with great faith, and
you´ll see how the Lord surprises you. (November 3, 2015)
