Brazil Present at the Foundation House

On September 8, 2026, we received a visit from a group of PLW Guides from Brazil. Liz Helena Azevedo, from Campinas, S.P., expressed her gratitude to the Lord for the peace and inner light she experienced during this visit.

Elisabete Neves, from the city of Araraquara, also in S.P., who was a Guide for the Prayer and Life Workshops in Poços de Caldas, MG, told us that learning about the Workshops and training as a Guide was very important and transformative in her life. Being in the place where Fr. Ignacio lived was deeply moving.

Maria Auxiliadora da Silva Ribeiro, a Guide from Guaxupé, MG, said she thanks Jesus and Fr. Ignacio for interceding for them, for being at the Foundation House. She said she doesn't feel worthy, but from the bottom of her heart she is very grateful and asks for strength to continue in the Prayer and Life Workshops.

And Sonia Cancian, Guide and coordinator from Poços de Caldas - MG, expresses her gratitude for the warm welcome and also thanks the Lord for the pleasure of being here in the house of Friar Ignacio, a truly joyful place.

On October 13th, Carmen Candia, PLW Guide from Campo Grande in Mato Grosso, Brazil, visited us and expressed her deep emotion at being in a mystical place that was the residence of Fr. Ignacio. Everything speaks of him: of the solitude he described in his book "The Rose and the Fire." The place is wonderful.

On October 14th, we received Valéria Montandon Silveira, PLW Guide from São José dos Campos, Brazil, who left her testimony in the guestbook, noting the following:

“Here I am, Lord! The Lord chose me, prepared me, and sent me as a PLW Guide. Today the Lord brought me to the TOVPIL Foundation, giving me the opportunity to see the house where our founder, Fr. Ignacio Larrañaga, lived and to be welcomed as one with family.”

Thank you to all the wonderful Guides who, with their warm-hearted visits, bring life and joy to this place that is their home.
