Mari Pablo Headshot

Mari Pablo
www.maripablo.com

She has traveled across the continental United States, and Latin America speaking about the heart of Christ and the beauty of the Catholic faith.

She shares with us the following- “I am a proud Hispanic and cradle Catholic whose life was wrecked in the best possible way when I finally decided to stop fighting and surrender it all to Him.

In a world full of lies I was able to discover Him, who is all truth and joy.

My mission is simple, to encourage others to refuse to settle for the things of this world, but rather to strive for more, to strive for Him.

I want to be his instrument and help unite hearts to the Heart that heals, restores, and ultimately beats out of love for us.” Mari has traveled across the continental United States, and Latin America speaking about the heart of Christ and the beauty of the Catholic faith.
