Motus Christi
Fernando wanted to study further and wanted to apply to the Central University of Madrid (now the University of Madrid). He intended to study Philosophy and Letters and become a professor at the University. However, he went to a church and met a Redemptorist priest. He then decided to join the Redemptorist seminary of Nava Del Ray. During his priestly studies, he liked to encourage his fellow students in preparation for their future missions. He began a movement called Motus Christi (the Movement of Christ) to revive their spiritual life.
