"Q: Who would Ángel Fernández Artime be today if he had not known the Salesians? A: Had I not known the Salesians, I was going to be a fisherman, like my cousins or my father. That was my future. But once I was able to study more, thanks to the Salesians, I thought I would be a doctor. I liked medicine so much that I had thought of starting my college studies towards it. But then, the mystery of God that makes you feel something special in your heart… I remember that already as I was to begin my college studies, I felt I had to talk to my parents about it. And the answer, which I cannot but see as a mediation from God, was: ‘Son, this is your life. If it makes you happy, go!”. That was the whole discernment."
