According to official data, at least 115,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since 1952.
Catholic nun Paola Cleric, holding a poster of missing person Fernando Ivan Ornelas, and Veronica Rosas with a photo of her missing son Diego, ask a resident if he recognizes either man and invite him to join a Mass with members of their search collective"Uniendo Esperanzas" or Uniting Hope, in Mexico City, Sunday, July 21, 2024. The collective of people with missing family members held a Mass on the birthday of Ornelas who disappeared five years prior.
According to official figures, at least 115,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since 1952, though the real number is believed to be higher. “While searching for them, they neglect their jobs. They lose their sense of security and many suffer from mental health problems,” he added. “In many cases, families fall apart.”
“They lack legal and anthropological tools to do that,” he added. “But they have something that the rest of the population does not: the driving force of love for their children.”When Rosas was pregnant with Diego, she made a decision: “This will be my one and only son.” It doesn’t feel right for her to have fun, to take a break. But if she does not take care of herself, who will find out what happened to her son?
From time to time, they find missing family members. Sometimes alive. Others, regrettably, dead. Whatever the result, as any family would do, they hug and pray and cry. “But the numbers of disappearances keep rising and the government doesn’t do anything about it, so, where the state is absent, the church offers guidance,” Acero said.in 2022. But, in parallel, relatives of missing people claim that many Catholic priests, nuns and parishioners have shown little empathy for their pain.
In contrast, rain or shine, faith leaders like Carrasco and Clericó are always there for the mothers. They have walked with them through muddy terrain where excavations have been done. They have celebrated Mass in the middle of busy streets and next to canal drainages. They have joined them in visiting prisons and morgues, comforting them no matter what sorrow may come.
