For the Anunciata Family, the pilgrimage of the relic has a deep charismatic meaning. Saint Francisco Coll was a passionate proclaimer of the Gospel, convinced that preaching should touch the mind, the heart, and life itself. His charism was itinerant, close to the people, and deeply committed to the reality of his time.
The relic on pilgrimage invites us to live a coherent proclamation, where faith is expressed in concrete actions: as Jesus reminds us, our light must shine before others so that they may recognize God’s work in us (Matthew 5:16). Returning to the sources means rekindling our passion for the Gospel and renewing our identity as men and women called to proclaim Jesus through word and witness.
Authentic proclamation is born of a life fully given, capable of making the Kingdom of God visible in everyday life, showing that faith is not limited to words but becomes a living presence in the world.

Prayer
Lord of the Incarnate Word,
make our lives a proclamation.
May what we say be born from the heart.
May what we live speak of You.
Ignite in us the passion for the Gospel.
Make us close to those who suffer.
Give us courage to proclaim You.
May we not remain silent in the face of injustice.
Form in us a missionary heart.
And send us to proclaim your Kingdom.
