Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi

Francis, the son of a rich cloth merchant, led a misspent youth. His search for conversion led him to the ancient church at San Damiano. While he was praying there, he heard Christ speak to him from the crucifix, "Francis, repair my church." Francis assumed this meant the crumbling building he was in. Acting in his impetuous way, he took fabric from his father's shop and sold it to get money to repair the church. His father saw this as an act of theft, dragged Francis before the bishop and in front of the whole town demanded that he return the money and renounce all rights as his heir. Francis not only gave back the money but stripped off all the clothes his father had given him, and declared that from then on his true Father was God in heaven. Francis took the Gospels as the rule of his life, and Jesus Christ as his example. He dressed in rough clothes and begged for his sustenance. He visited hospitals, served the sick, cared for lepers, preached purity and peace, composed songs and hymns to God and nature, and regarded all people as his brothers and sisters. He began to attract followers, and in 1209, with papal blessing, founded the Franciscans. In 1212 Clare of Assisi became his spiritual student, which led to the founding of the Poor Clares. Francis visited and preached to the Saracens in Arabia. In 1221 he resigned as director of the Franciscans. While in meditation on Mount Alvernia in the Apennines in September 1224, Francis received the stigmata, which periodically bled during the remaining two years of his life.

The future of Pride: living without hate, love who you want, stay with those people you consider your real family.

Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride in Madrid has been wonderful: a lot of fun, new friends, kisses, hugs, ... and my commitment with LGBTQIA+ rights for 3 years.

Now I am an educator, I can show the color of diversity to my students and overcome the worst prejudices.

Watching some movies to remember Stonewall riots can be a good idea to remember that changes are possible thanks to the union of people for equality.

If I had to thank someone who had helped me to be where I am now ... I would think of my parents, even though my relationship with them has always been complex. I think I have lived my personal evolution alone. Sometimes I miss that helping hand to lean on. It's hard to trust someone nowadays.

The C&A fashion franchise celebrates pride with a very colorful collection. You can have a look at its web and think of what Pride outfit will wear this year.

There are many songs I could choose for this Pride... But Madrid is an example of a friendly city full of soundtracks. Which one is your favourite? Mine is "Sexual revolution", from La casa azul (the blue house).

When you are in a Pride float moving the rainbow flag and dancing... you feel the king of your freedom.
