Abstract

RESUMEN: Las interioridades del padre fray Pedro Gerard López (1871-1919) a través de sus escritos y declaraciones, manifiestan una evolución personal. Desde sus estudios y enseñanza apasionada de las Ciencias Naturales a una dedicación vocacional a la causa de la acción Social Católica. Una verdadera “conversión” de la que él mismo da cuenta en entrevista. Su Diario recoge gran parte de sus afanes, de sus luchas y contradicciones. “Mi cruz -dirá- son las persecuciones de los nuestros; es muy pesada, muy pesada, pero yo no la dejo, yo no abandono al obrero por dar satisfacción a ricos egoístas… Seguiré en la brecha hasta que Dios quiera”. Palabras clave: Ciencias, Conversión, Acción Social, Sindicatos Libres, Casa del trabajo. ABSTRACT: The biliefs of Fr.
