On Sunday, November 17, we celebrate the First Intensive Study Day in Jaén, with 17 participants: 13 high school students and 4 university students. In addition to the four large blocks of study, we had moments of prayer, motivation, group sharing, shared meals, visits to the sisters of the community during the break, and a quiet adoration at the end of the day in which we were able to express to the Lord what we had inside.
Here we have a video summary:

And below we transcribe the brief summary that each of them leaves us about their experience:
- I think it has been a complete day where we have made the most of our hours of study, our rest in coexistence and the little time we have spent with the Lord.
- It has helped me to be aware of everything I can achieve by organizing my study time well. To be closer to the Lord and know how to lead the spiritual life at the same time as the tasks of daily life.
- I would summarize it as a unique, very productive and shared experience.
- A moment to connect both in studies and with God and thus have a day of peace
- It has helped me realize that time can be used very well and I have ended up very happy.
- It has helped me enjoy studying in company and making it known that God is with me.
- Simply put, I believe that it has had everything that a study coexistence should have, moments of prayer, moments of study, funny moments...
- It has helped me focus on what is really important: God and myself; since I have been able to deepen my studies and at the same time have time to listen to myself.
- I have been able to do a lot of the proposed work but above all it has helped me realize what I am capable of doing.
- I would say that I have felt relaxed but at the same time productive, because I have managed to achieve almost all of my proposed objectives and I have not been distracted by anything, apart from the rest periods to eat and pray, which I have felt very accompanied by.
- This day has helped me take advantage of it in a different way from the rest of the days, meeting new colleagues and having a good day together
- It has given me peace, awareness and strength for the small challenges of life. It has taught me that the Lord is always with us but we have to know how to listen to him and that he always helps us. He has a good plan for us, we simply have to follow in his footsteps.
- It has been a day of sharing and taking advantage of the time, which has helped me feel Jesus even in the study.
- It has helped me know how to organize myself
- It has helped me disconnect
- It has given me an experience in which I have kept both Jesus and my studies in mind.
- Values
