He tells us that the parish in which he exercises the ministry is made up of riverside communities, that is to say, they live on the riverbank and subsist from the products of the land and fishing.
For these communities he has the joy and satisfaction of bringing the Eucharistic Christ, celebrating Holy Mass with them and sanctifying it through the Sacraments. To reach some of these communities, he needs to use a boat. They are simple and poor people, marked by suffering and famine. The community is marked by illegal deforestation, with extremely difficult access and that during the rainy season is practically isolated.
It is a community that suffers from the prostitution of minors and work like slavery. Crime is rife in this place. Together with the local miners and other people from the community Father Jeferson has the joy of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice. Near the triple frontier of states there is a riverside community that, before his arrival, had never been visited by a priest. There he visits the families and celebrates Holy Mass, attends Confessions, gives the Anointing of the Sick and celebrates the other Sacraments.
These spores are fundamental for me to carry out the mission. Because of the distance from the communities, spending fuel and vehicle maintenance, for example, is extremely expensive and the faithful here, because of their poverty, cannot offer much to collaborate in Evangelization.
In their Faith they bring to their Father a simple offering like them, a fish, fruits, or something they take from the land that sustains them. I receive each gift with a grateful heart for the manifestation of Divine Providence. Be assured that you are always in my prayers. With affection, I say goodbye with a strong and fraternal ample.
