I am a Mechanical Engineering student from São Paulo, Brazil. For the past year, I have been attending the Pacaembu Cultural Center, an Opus Dei center here in my city.
I recently came across the book "Pedro Ballester – Never been happier!" in our center’s library. I was deeply moved by Pedro’s life story. He is a true example of holiness in everyday life. I was particularly impressed by his priestly soul and, after watching his documentary, I saw how much he loved God and his family, evangelizing in such a simple way, always smiling and full of joy.
As a fellow student, it was very inspiring to see that a young man who lived such a holy life also faced the rigors of Chemical Engineering, studying Calculus, Algebra, and Physics. His example feels very close to my own reality.
I am writing to share my gratitude for getting to know "Pedrinho" and to express my desire to spread his story here in Brazil. Furthermore, I would like to ask if you have any prayer cards in Portuguese available that you could send me, so I can help promote his devotion among other students.
Thank you for your attention. God bless you!
