María Abigail did not arrive at the World Cup Fan Fest in Mexico City’s Zócalo wearing a jersey or carrying a speaker. She arrived in her habit and with open arms. 🙏

The nun walked through the event hugging every person who crossed her path — fans, families, strangers — as if bringing joy were her mission for the day. And with that same conviction with which she spreads affection, she made her prediction without hesitation: Mexico is going to win its next World Cup match, and that is exactly what happened after the 1-0 victory over South Korea. ⚽🇲🇽

Some people bring flags, some bring drums, and some, like Sister María Abigail, bring faith. And in the middle of a fervent crowd, her hugs became the sweetest moment of the whole celebration. 🤗
