Biography
Mexican priest and first missionary of the Holy Spirit, Moisés Lira Serafín spread filial trust in God the Father. Orphaned by his mother since he was five years old, he transformed that wound into closeness towards those who needed affection, guidance and comfort. He was a disciple of the venerable Félix de Jesús Rougier, he dedicated himself to confession and spiritual direction and founded the Missionaries of Charity of Mary Immaculate. He taught that holiness consists of union with God and a loving and constant "yes."
