Hector Alejandro is 26 years old, is a native of Tabasco (Mexico) and is currently in the first year of the licentiate degree in Theology. He lived the confinement due to the coronavirus pandemic in Spain, while he was finishing the high school program in Theology at the University of Navarra, and says he is happy to be able to be formed once again here for all he has received.

When he returned to Mexico in June, after finishing his programs of study, he also experienced the confinement, but in a different way: he was at home, with his family. Although on both occasions he tried to do his best to help in such a complicated status , in Tabasco he could not receive communion every day: "I missed it very much. I realized how lucky I was to live daily Mass," he says.

At the end of August he was ordained a priest and a few days later the bishop of his diocese entrusted him with the task of returning to the University of Navarra and continuing his studies at programs of study. "My dream is to train myself to give a better service to the Church," he says.

He recalls that as a child he participated in the activities that took place in his parish, in the catechesis, in the Sunday celebrations, in the Eucharistic adorations and even in a mission group . "That's where the Lord gradually won me over." Until Holy Week 2012, when he was on mission in a village, he met an elderly priest who was "wearing himself out" a lot. And, although he had always imagined himself as a father of a family and his plans were focused on studying engineering at the university, God came to him at meeting.

During his years at seminar in Villahermosa, Mexico, he studied some books by professors who later taught him class in Pamplona: "What a thrill it was for me to meet the authors of the books I had read. They taught me firsthand their love for theology. From them I learned that theology is the way to love God. No one loves what he does not know, and they knew how to transmit to us the hunger to know God better.

Recently landed in Pamplona, and having a piece of heart in Spain and another in Mexico, some words he learned from Don Juan Antonio Gil Tamayo, a priest formator of seminar International Bidasoa who died in March 2019, come to his report : "When moments of nostalgia come, you must have your head in the book and your heart in the diocese, because everything you learn here is to give something good there". And he is at it.
