✣ Highlights from the week online
Did Adoration save a city from violence? The city of Juarez in northern Mexico was once considered one of the most dangerous in the world, with 3,766 murders recorded in 2010. Five years later, the number had dropped to 256.
Fr Patricio Hileman, one of the missionaries who arrived in the city three years ago, told Radio Maria Argentina that at that time, “40 people a day were dying because two drugs gangs were fighting”.
These were the Juárez and Sinaloa cartels. Sinaloa’s former leader Joaquín “el Chapo” Guzmán Loera was recently extradited to the United States.
