One of the most shocking moments for Rondón was the pilgrimage with the cross: “He invites us to follow Jesus assuming the consequences; And passing the holy door with many other young people and adults, who have come from many parts of the world, is really an experience that enlarges your heart, because you realize how we are so many in the world sharing the same faith. ”

According to Rondón, Ressa spoke to communicators about their responsibility to act differently: “We have a great responsibility, we must do different things, because technology, social networks, are being used and manipulated by great powers; And we are following the rope, we are doing the same, what can we do differently? ”
