The Birth of the Neocatechumenal Way.
The Neocatechumenal Way did not start as a seminar talk among the middle class and the wealthy. It was born in the slums of Madrid, Spain. It was born among the poorest of the poor. Kiko Arguello went to live in a wooden shack in the slums of Madrid with only a guitar and a bible in his hands. It was in the Palomeras Altas neighborhood in Madrid, where Kiko decided to live as he searched for his purpose in life.In his book entitled Kerygma: In the Shantytown with the Poor, Kiko wrote:
I had found myself in front of a human suffering that was unheard of, a sort of Auschwitz. They say that after Auschwitz you cannot believe in God any longer.....Well, despite this I found a surprising answer in this environment. I found myself confronted with the mystery of Christ crucified. I understood that there is a presence of Christ in those who suffer, especially in the suffering of the innocents. There are people who are innocent and who are carrying the sins of the others, that horrible sin of the alcoholic, of one who hits his mother, of a retarded son, of incest, etc. By means of this suffering, those people are bringing salvation to the world with Christ.
There is a true real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, but I thought that also the suffering of those innocent people was a real presence of Christ. That impressed me so much that when I had to do the military service in Africa, I was already very restless.........This was so strong in me that I left everything and went to live amongst the poor.The first community of the Neocatechumenal Way was born in the slums of Madrid. Kiko Arguello and Carmen Hernandez were the founders of the Way. The changes and effects that the NCW brought to the gypsies living in the slums impressed the Archbishop of Madrid that he asked Kiko to bring the NCW into the parishes of Madrid. And so began the journey of the NCW. Kiko had no idea that this journey would lead him to Israel to build the "Domus Galilaeae" or to Rome where the first Redemptoris Mater Seminary would be instituted. The Domus Galilaeae and the Redemptoris Mater Seminary became two of the many fruits of the Neocatechumenal Way. See the video below to learn more about the birth of the Neocatechumenal Way.
