Our Mission

Dear Emmaus Family,

I received God’s calling in 2024 during one of the most difficult seasons of my life — a time marked by sorrow, reflection, and internal struggles.

During that season, God slowly began transforming my heart through prayer, silence, surrender, and the people He placed around me.

I thank my wife, Laly, for always insisting that we stay close to God through the Holy Mass. I thank my mother, Helena, for bringing faith and spiritual life into our home since childhood — always reminding me that I am a miracle baby born in the 1980s. I thank my father, Javier, for being a constant force of nature with God always at the center of his life. I thank my sister, Dani, for always being present through love, prayers, and support.

I also thank my in-laws, Yaya and Agu, for always being a beautiful reminder that a happy marriage truly exists, and that a life centered in love, faith, family, and sacrifice is one of the greatest blessings God can give us.

Above all, I thank God for choosing Laly and me to become parents to our two beautiful children, Santiago and Valentina. And especially for Valentina, our miraculous “ectopic baby,” whose life in 2018 became another testimony of God’s grace and mercy in our family.

Despite the many miracles throughout my life — including moments where my own life was saved by God’s grace, and more recently Valentina’s miracle — I was living in what I now call “automatic mode.” I was taking too many things for granted, believing I had more control than I truly did — until that way of living became spiritually and emotionally unsustainable.

I had forgotten a simple truth:

2025 became my year of conversion.

For the first time in my life, I heard God’s voice clearly and without confusion. That year, I received my First Communion, my Confirmation, and completed my first Emmaus Walk in May 2025.

That walk changed my life.

After a full year of prayer, reflection, healing, surrender, and learning to trust God’s plan without hesitation, this website and the EmmausOS platform were born in May 2026 — allowing the Holy Spirit to use me in service of others.

Not as a business venture, but as a mission of service.

For many years, my focus was the corporate and entrepreneurial world — helping businesses grow through revenue, operations, technology, and measurable results. Today, I place myself at God’s service to help bring more souls closer to Him.

That is the metric that truly moves my heart now.

And for everything else, I trust God completely. The same God who multiplied the loaves and fishes can also provide — for you, for my family, for my friends, and for me — according to His will and perfect timing.

This platform is simply my small “yes” to His calling, with the hope of helping more people encounter Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the peace that only God can provide.

This mission was born not only to serve my beloved parishes — St. John XXIII in Miramar and St. Katharine Drexel in Weston — but also to honor the places that became shelter during the storm. Places where I experienced peace, healing, and God’s presence through adoration, community, prayer, and service.

Through Emmaus, I witnessed beautiful examples of brothers and sisters serving quietly, humbly, and selflessly — without expecting anything in return — simply answering God’s call to help bring others closer to Him.

This is an ongoing mission dedicated to God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, under the loving guidance of the Virgin Mary, the healing of St. Jose Gregorio Hernandez, and the inspiration of St. Carlo Acutis, our first millennial-tech Saint.

I continue praying for our parishes, archdioceses, priests, volunteers, families, and all those who dedicate their time and hearts to helping others encounter Christ.

And I remain deeply grateful for our close friends who helped me stay true and centered, and to every person who, in one way or another, has prayed for me and my family along this journey.

All glory belongs to God, forever and ever.

May the Holy Spirit continue giving us the strength, wisdom, and perseverance to keep building this mission and the technologies that will support it in the years to come.

In Christ,

Javier Aguilera

Founder, EmmausOS
