With this retablo, I want to give my condolences to the people of Spain and to condemn the terrorist attacks on the innocent people on the Atocha train station and in the Madrid trains. A lot of people was killed. From the bottom of my heart, I ask the Holy Child of Atocha to not allow this to happen again. I’m lighting up a candle and bringing these flowers in memory of the lost.

We thank our Lord Jesus Christ for preventing us from being in the Twin Towers, at the worst place and in the worst time. We dedicate the retablo for that.
