Dressed in a gray habit, a white cross and sporting a big smile. This is how Isidoro Macias, Father Patera, enters the conference room of living of the high school Mayor Belagua Phase 2. His Andalusian accent gives him grace, closeness and even self-confidence. He is at the University of Navarra because he has been invited to the congress Borders and Human Rights organized by the School of Law.

Amazed by so much expectation, he looks for his seat and immediately smiles. And that's because... Smile... Always smile. With an overwhelming personality and a special charisma, he begins to answer the first questions. He talks about everything, without prejudice and in a clear way. He talks about young people, the problem of drug addiction and how difficult it is to deny a financial aid to a person in need. A lover of Chambao, Father Patera refers to the song " Wet Papers" as a way to provide a soundtrack to suffering. But at the same time solution. Because, according to the friar, these songs raise awareness and place young people in a reality that sometimes seems not to exist. "Every problem has a solution," he says.

In a calm and leisurely way, he shares his day-to-day life with the university students present. His morning coffee, his moments of prayer or his work at the Virgen de la Palma Family House (Algeciras) are his routine. The House welcomes the unemployed, irregular immigrants and, especially, sub-Saharan mothers who have crossed the strait in search of work. For this reason, Father Patera has been arrested on several occasions by the police and the Civil Guard.

He also talks about the economic difficulties his order has had in being able to help so many in need. And how hard it is to witness human dramas every day. The friar dazzles, engages with his words.

Suddenly, spontaneously, Isidoro Macías answers the question. To the question that everyone is asking. Why they call him Father Patera. The answer has to do with a journalist from RNE, who named it after him because of his dedication to immigrants.

The friar enthusiastically recounts his humanitarian work and the need for human beings to give themselves to others. "The birds of the air, they neither sow nor reap," he says. And he clarifies that we should not expect a response from good deeds. "It's not reciprocal. One financial aid because he wants to, because he loves his neighbor and doesn't have to expect anything in return."

Father Patera is an expert at talking to the media. She has collaborated in different national television programs, such as La Mañana de La 1, Espejo público and El programa de Ana Rosa. There he tells the projects and objectives that his order has in mind. His words always convey hope, calm and charity. It conveys a positive feeling. As some would say, good vibes.
