The Walk 2022, besides remembering the martyrdom of Alejandro and Inés, 35 years after their death (July 21, 1987), also encourages us to the current commitment to walk with/as people of God, with/as the simple people of the Amazon.
The 16th Walk 2022 will have three modalities: on foot, by bike and virtual, to facilitate the participation of the greatest number of people, according to their possibilities, but always from the same spirit: «We walk together in communion, participation and mission», that is, in tune with the invitation of Pope Francis to the whole Church.
Our fundamental motivations to carry out this walk are:
To know and make known the life, mission and dedication of Alejandro and Inés, as witnesses who encourage us in our present life and choices.
To assume the signs of the times and the challenges of the reality of this moment: health pandemics, poverty, violence, contamination, extractivism and corruption.
Encourage and strengthen the missionary option from inculturation and interculturality, with an ecological reality damaged by pollution, but that encourages our lives to build and announce the Kingdom of God «so that all may have life».
Let us allow ourselves to be enlightened and inspired by the Latin American and Caribbean Ecclesial Assembly and the Synod of Synodality, encouraged by Pope Francis.
