Compassion and warmth for migrants was the appeal made by the diocesan administrator Antonio Manuel Pérez Morales during the Candelaria festivities. He currently leads the Nivariense diocese while awaiting the appointment of a new bishop. This core message was delivered during his sermon on February 2 at the Candelaria Basilica, where he reminded the congregation that, “Just as the image of the Virgin once arrived across the same waters, today men, women, and children come filled with hope and in need.”
