I have translated this into English, as the automatic translation did not make sense:
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isidoro_Lezcano Isidoro Lezcano Isidoro Lezcano Guerra ( Tenoya , 1935 - 20th February 2006 ) was a Spanish friar, founder of the Order of Franciscan brothers of the White Cross which looks after incurably ill and physically and mentally handicapped people, and also immigrants Brother Isidoro Lezcano Guerra was born in 1935 in Tenoya, near Las Palmas in Gran Canaria . There he had his primary education and helped his parents, humble farm workers, in their tasks in the fields.His religious enthusiasm was stirred by some missions and he entered a Seminary with the help of a benefactress, but he did not have a vocation to the priesthood so he left. When he was seventeen years old he started work in a psychiatric hospital. In the hospital he joined forces with a tetraplegic man called Félix Alonso, and together they dedicated themselves to alleviate the situation. He did his military service in Tetuán (Morocco ) and in his free time he visited the 'cabilas' ( little Maghrebi settlements ), which put him in contact with the marginalised and extremely poor; everyone turned to him to be cured of their ailments todos, to get advice about administrative paperwork, to seek his material help, and even to heal their cows and lambs etc. When he finished his military service, he remained in the area, since he felt that his life should be spent among the marginalised, so he sat various public examinations and obtained a position in the Meteorological Service in Ceuta . And he began the first steps of his work. When he had saved up some money from his salary in the Meteorological Service he purchased a chalet where he could welcome paralytics, alcoholics, homeless people, the mentally ill etc. He also was establishing a little group who wished to follow him. However, after years of work, he was dispossessed of everything.Moreover, the community abandoned him also, and only two of his early companions remained faithful to him and decided to continue the work. He opened two houses in Tengier. He returned to Ceuta and bought a house in a poor area with a Muslim population. This was the original seed of the Franciscan Brothers of the White Cross, which today has spread through Spain, Morocco, and Latin America, with the following aim: "Full dedication to all the Christ figures, broken by pain and marginalised, living among them as witnesses of the Love of God" The Community was established as a religious Institution by diocesan law in 1989 by Mons. Carlos Amigo, the archbishop of Seville, who in 1975 when he was archbishop of Tangier approved it as a Religious association. The Brothers, who live in 'family houses' make a fourth religious vow: they vow to dedicate themselves to care for the terminally ill and the poorest and neediest. Brother Isidoro, founder and Superior General for life, died on the 20th February 2006 in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.
