Una Iglesia con encanto

Imponente templo franciscano con dimensiones catedralicias. Otra de las grandes iglesias que visitar en Santiago. Arquitectura grandiosa tanto en su exterior como en el interior. Lo visité en casi absoluta soledad,.es un lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor.

Estuvimos sobre las siete y estaban atendiendo a las personas necesitadas. Creo que deberíamos tomar conciencia de cuanto podemos aportar la gente que gracias a Dios la vida nos da todo lo que precisamos. Es duro pero necesario ver situaciones tan duras para abrir los ojos.
