May 22nd, 1974: Catechesis throughout South America

On this date, St. Josemaria started his catechesis through Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela. He was in South America until August 31st.
In Ecuador, he had Altitude sickness (due to Quito's level above the sea) and he was unable to carry out the series of get-togethers they had planned. Only a few of them actually happened as St. Josemaria was quite unwell. In those days in Ecuador, he wouldn't even be able to celebrate Holy Mass, and he would attend that of blessed Alvaro.
