Rodolfo José López was born 44 years ago in Guadalajara, Mexico. The son of Nicaraguan parents, he spent his childhood in the city of Managua, although for political reasons, in the 1980s they were forced to emigrate to Florida (United States), where he spent his youth. "Ten years later, when democracy was reinstated, we returned to Nicaragua," he explains. Rodolfo José had reached the age of majority and began his programs of study university studies at the Universidad Católica Redemptoris Máter (UNICA): "I studied International Office, with a accredited specialization in International Commerce. When I finished degree program, I started working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua), where I stayed for three administrations". He says that, at that time, he began to hear God's call to the priesthood: "However, I pretended not to notice. I had a comfortable life, a good work, I was going to marry my girlfriend... But the Lord put a lot of pressure on me and I ended up leaving my life in his hands".

Finally, at the age of 29, he entered the seminar: "I am what in my country is known as a late vocation. Although it was a shock for my family, they accepted it and gave thanks to God, because for them the priesthood is a very beautiful vocation". Rodolfo José has the firm conviction that if people live with generosity, great fruits are produced. "God always multiplies the generous acts that come from the heart of man," he says. When he joined seminar, a colleague of work at the Chancery also joined, guided by his example, and another of the employees took the habit and became a nun. "We made a very nice work of evangelization," she says.

In 2010, he was ordained a priest and worked as a formator in the diocese. His last assignment before coming to study in Spain was to serve in the cathedral of Managua. On August 15, the feast of the Assumption, he arrived in Pamplona convinced that the opportunity to study at the University of Navarra was a gift from Our Lady. His bishop had asked him to study at order . Canon Law and, although at first the idea frightened him, he ended up "getting a taste" for the degree program, as he himself says: "For those of us who have been trained in the field of Theology and are not accustomed to legal language, the study of the Canon Law is a little difficult at first, but little by little you become familiar with it. Besides, you realize that it is very useful to help the Bishops in their government. In my country there is a great lack of well-prepared priests, since there are only two graduates in Canon Law". He assures that the training received during this time has been "very positive, because the School of Canon Law of the University of Navarra is one of the best that exist". "In addition, the professors are very experienced and do not limit themselves to reading a guide; that can be done by anyone. They are very approachable and have a great desire to pass on their knowledge. I thank God for all this," he adds.

Rodolfo José lives in a residency program "where the atmosphere is very familiar and very nice because, being smaller than a larger high school , community life is encouraged," he explains. His companions are his main support at a complicated time for his country: for some weeks now, Nicaragua has been experiencing a national crisis in which conflicts are occurring every day. The Church is also receiving numerous attacks and in a few days, Rodolfo José must return: "We are going through very hard times, so, although I was going to continue my programs of study at the University, my Bishop has order me to return to my country, because the status is not well and they need financial aid". As the future is uncertain, he is waiting to receive his degree scroll university degree. After that, "I will put myself at the disposal of my bishop and the diocese and do what God commands," he explains.

As he says, the opportunity to have studied in Pamplona has been "very valuable", so he wants to thank "from the bottom of his heart" the financial aid provided by his benefactors: "Your openness and generosity in love for Christ is being of great benefit to the church and God will always reward you. Although He can do everything without needing us, He wants us to participate with small acts of generosity from the heart. These people who help us with our training have scored a point in Heaven."
