Brother Abel of Jesus, a Discalced Carmelite student from the Iberian Province, won the third celebration of the Young Theological Essay Award, organized by the prestigious Spanish Catholic publishing house PPC (Christian Popular Promotion).
At the age of 27, Brother Abel, who gained a Master of Dogmatic-Fundamental Theology degree at the Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid, won the award ─the entire jury unanimous─ with his work on spirituality in the digital age. According to sources in the publishing house, the essay will be published in March this year.
A Discalced Carmelite since 2016, Br. Abel tries to make his work recognisably believing, inspired by the Gospel and by the doctrine of Carmelite saints, in the stormy sea of social networks. He has a YouTube channel that, at the moment, has 5,330 subscribers and he has already published more than 60 videos on spirituality and networks, but also on other topics, such as the spiritual values of the current cinema or youth literature:
Fray Abel is also present on other networks, such as Twitter and Facebook.
Br Abel, we send our congratulations and encouragement for your work.
