FR. ZAMEZA, S.J.
- I contacted Father Jose Zameza, Deputy Director of the magazine El Siglo, and I asked him for help with our plan for creating a specialized library of missionary books and magazines in our school. (p. 53)
- Father Zameza was here the day before yesterday. It was our first meeting since we began writing each other a few months back…We spoke about the loneliness of the missionary, which is exactly how I always imagined it. (p. 56)
- Right away, I wrote to Father Zameza and I asked that he pass by here as soon as possible because I had a lot to tell him and something in advance about my pans knowing that I would tell him everything once he got here. What I did was to congratulate him for the work that he did with the Archbishop of Burgos, Cardinal Benlloch…I asked that he bring me a copy… (p. 58)
- I also asked for the collaboration from Father Zameza. He will return from Holland in January. I know that he will be very busy, but since it has to do with missions… (p. 59)
- I received a letter from Father Zameza. He appears to be worried because he believes that there is little guidance in missionary work. (p. 69)
- I share a lot in common with Father Zameza. One thing that we share is the difficulty we have in showing our feelings. It’s one of the draw-back of the Basque character. We would be foolish if we didn’t encourage ourselves not to overcome this impediment. (p. 70)
- Father Zameza will publish a brief article daily in the Bilbao press. In addition, we are printing some informative leaflets about our mission in China. (p. 85)
- Doña Victorina visited us last Sunday. She was very interested in having Father Zameza visit her. (p. 90)
- It’s been a very full day and one of mixed emotions. I missed Father Zameza very much. (p. 98)
- Father Zameza was here on Monday, the 16th. He came to tell us that Monsignor Rego has accepted us to the mission in the Caroline Islands. (p. 104)
- I need to exchange views with Father Zameza before Doña Victorina receives the letter. (p. 109)
- Fathers Faber and Zameza are encouraging us. (p. 124)
- But the person I need to sit down with before I go is Father Zameza. I need just two hours. I’ve told him that this time I can’t do without exchanging views with him. (p. 128)
- I received a very affectionate and moving letter from Father Zameza. There are times in which these expressions of affection are appreciated. He’s too good to me and to us. I don’t know what he could possibly do in the future that he hasn’t done already. I’ve never told him how much I appreciate him looking out for us. I also don’t need to tell him because we understand each other and he can guess it, just as I understand and can guess the full meaning of his letters, no matter how short. But it’s different this time. I feel the need to tell him about my appreciation as if I were leaving and not returning again. I want him to know that I carry him inside of me. May God bless him. I ask that He do this now and always. Always. (p. 128)
- I would have given anything to have Father Zameza here… (p. 207)
- I received a letter from Father Zameza. His affection and goodness of heart touches me. A word from him is worth more to me than many words from other people. (p. 213)
- Father Zameza has already been appointed and he will have to move to Rome. He’s been by here to say goodbye. It’s hard for me to see him go, but I accept it with pleasure. (p. 241)
- I’ve begun work on “Our Spirit”. I made the outline some time ago with Father Zameza. (p. 245)
- I received a letter from Father Zameza. I’m happy that he is enjoying the lofty environment that surrounds him. I give thanks to God because he is performing a job that fulfills his desire for true knowledge and making great, deep, and sincere friendships. He deserves it. When he comes we will all participate in the abundance of life that he knows how to communicate so magnificently. Before, only I participated in his exchanges, in his teaching and in his extended opinions. Now, the whole community knows him. They miss him and want to have him near. (p. 256)
- Father Zameza also arrived from Rome. He’s in Berriz writing a new book that completely takes all of his time and attention. It is going to be something very good about Jesus Christ, and very appropriate to be published this year, the anniversary of the redemption. (p. 264)
- In Berriz, we continue to enjoy Father Zameza’s (p. 265)
- Father Zameza’s talks on “Lights of the Redemption” begin. Sublime discoveries of Jesus Christ. This is the greatest gift that God could bestow upon me according to what my spirit years for and what I want for the formation of the Institute. (p. 273)
- I received a letter from Father Zameza. He tells me that he enjoys seeing us in the lap of God. (p. 285)
- I always appreciated and wonted to communicate with Father Zameza, but now I want it infinitely more. During the entire year, my memory of him is united with that of God, full of peace, gratitude, and enveloped in “lights of redemption” that allow me to discover a new world. What happens to me is that when God allows me to understand His truths in a new light I cannot rest until I’ve lived them as deeply as I can. I own a new life to my friendship with Father Zameza, full of truth and joy in god through Jesus Christ. I’ve discover treasures that were almost hidden from me and that now I have at my disposal. Hopefully, this year he feels as inspired as last year and writes something along the same lines. (p. 296)
