“We have no priests. We ask our good pastor for abundant vocations and that they may be in their parishes,” the priest said in the homily, warning that “without priests a people is spiritually dead. May God bless Nicaragua and bless it always.”

“There was a rumor going around wherever they took me. The truth is that we already know that it could hit us at any moment, but we have peace and a clear conscience,” he noted.
Between last Sunday and Monday, the Nicaraguan priests José Iván Centeno, Julio Ricardo Norori and Cristóbal Gadea They were detained by the National Police, who transferred them to Managua.
