In the first years of the Josefa Foundation, the watchword was: "a change of outlook" in particular on this new population which was beginning to migrate, from everywhere, and which the news called "migrants"…
"This is the title of a book published in 1942 by the existentialist philosopher Gabriel Marcel, in whose writings the image of the path is omnipresent… His reflection follows the cadence of the walk, sometimes pauses, but never stops; it does not build a permanent shelter. For philosophy is a tireless quest, an adventure, a journey. Man is an itinerant being. Time is the form of his test." [1]

SepJOSEFA: An adventure towards the Other. On the way, in search of the true Man.
INVITATION
Uniting our songs, our laughter – human fibres vibrating in spirit
Smiling, like the new-born, the child who knows the invisible of the Other
Marching on the path – You, El Camino – already under our feet
Initiating the encounter, the risk of the triggering and jostling experience
Getting the culture of dialogue – because the Word was made flesh
Reaching out to the Other, contemplated from the other, constantly
Attaching your gaze to the banks of the Word and letting it evolve in the breeze of the given meaning
Nourishing the common prayer, the common presence
Treasuring the meaning of the foolishness of faith, first and fundamental stone
Salam, Shalom, let's be at peace in the bright glare of the other – your brother, my brother.
