Enrique González Torres: ser cura es «estar disponible para recibir y escuchar a quien tiene sed de Dios»

Enrique González Torres, the parish priest of Buen Suceso, describes his priesthood as a commitment to being available to listen to those seeking God. Ordained in 2003, González Torres views his ministry as a way to care for others and speak about Jesus, noting that he witnesses miracles daily through his work.

The parish recently experienced a surge in energy following a visit to Madrid by Pope Leo XIV, who passed by the Buen Suceso parish. González Torres noted that the community felt uplifted by the visit, particularly as young people took active roles and families offered their homes.

Because of the large number of people attending the parish, González Torres says his most urgent task is helping parishioners move past anonymity so they can know one another. He aims to build a community network that fosters real communion and prevents the large congregation from feeling like an overwhelming flood of people.
