Pocas veces un estadio de 40.000 personas guarda un silencio parecido. Su frágil voz, casi temblando, emocionó al mismísimo Santo Padre durante su diálogo con los jóvenes en la vigilia celebrada el martes en Barcelona. Desirèe López, estudiante de Derecho, tomó la palabra ante ... León XIV y formuló una pregunta que llevaba años sin respuesta: «¿Dónde estaba Dios cuando era niña?». Detrás de esas palabras había una infancia marcada por el intento de asesinato de su madre a manos de su padre, que acabó con la vida de la persona que se interpuso para protegerla. Días después de su relato, Desirèe recibe a ABC en San José de la Montaña, el lugar donde empezó a reconstruirse, para hablar de su testimonio ante el Papa, del perdón, de la fe y de la vida que ha empezado a levantar.
