Enric caminava lentament pels camins del monestir de Montserrat.
Enric walked slowly along the paths of the Montserrat monastery.
Les muntanyes es perfilaven majestuoses al seu voltant, acollint-lo amb el seu silenci ancestral.
The mountains loomed majestically around him, welcoming him with their ancient silence.
Aquell dia, la primavera es desplegava en tot el seu esplendor, amb flors de colors vius brotant entre les pedres antigues.
That day, spring was unfolding in all its splendor, with brightly colored flowers sprouting among the ancient stones.
Els vents suaus feien cantar les fulles dels arbres, com si volguessin acompanyar el viatge del cor d'Enric.
The gentle winds made the leaves of the trees sing, as if wanting to accompany the journey of Enric's heart.
Enric havia vingut a Montserrat buscant pau.
Enric had come to Montserrat seeking peace.
Des de la mort de la seva àvia, el seu món s'havia capgirat.
Since the death of his grandmother, his world had been turned upside down.
La seva àvia era la seva guia, la seva connexió amb les tradicions, la seva empremta en la terra catalana.
His grandmother was his guide, his connection to traditions, his imprint on the Catalan land.
Ara, se sentia perdut entre els records i la necessitat de continuar endavant.
Now, he felt lost among memories and the need to move forward.
La Laia, la seva germana, l'havia animat a visitar el monestir durant Pasqua.
Laia, his sister, had encouraged him to visit the monastery during Easter.
"Redescobreix les nostres arrels, Enric", li havia dit.
"Rediscover our roots, Enric," she had said.
Al mig de la multitud, Enric trobava difícil trobar la solitud que buscava.
Amidst the crowd, Enric found it difficult to find the solitude he sought.
Les celebracions de Pasqua a Montserrat eren vibrants, plenes de vida i gent que compartia la seva fe.
The Easter celebrations at Montserrat were vibrant, full of life and people sharing their faith.
Però era precisament aquesta energia la que ell necessitava per avançar.
But it was precisely this energy that he needed to progress.
Va trobar en Marc, un guia local, un coneixedor profund de la història i els misteris del monestir.
He found in Marc, a local guide, a deep knower of the monastery's history and mysteries.
Marc, amb un somriure càlid, va compartir les històries dels monjos, les llegendes de la muntanya, i va parlar de la importància de Montserrat com a lloc de renovació espiritual.
Marc, with a warm smile, shared stories of the monks, legends of the mountain, and spoke of the importance of Montserrat as a place of spiritual renewal.
Guiat per la intuïció de Marc, Enric va decidir participar en les tradicions de la Pasqua.
Guided by Marc's intuition, Enric decided to participate in the Easter traditions.
Va assistir a la missa de diumenge, on va experimentar l'emoció d'una cerimònia plena de cant gregorià i ressons antics.
He attended the Sunday mass, where he experienced the emotion of a ceremony full of Gregorian chant and ancient echoes.
En aquells moments, envoltat per les parets de la basílica, va sentir la presència de la seva àvia.
In those moments, surrounded by the walls of the basilica, he felt the presence of his grandmother.
No estava sol.
He was not alone.
La seva calidesa semblava embolcallar-lo, i va trobar confort en el pensament de que ella estava feliç.
Her warmth seemed to envelop him, and he found comfort in the thought that she was happy.
Quan el sol començava a decaure darrere les muntanyes, Enric va sortir del servei amb un sentiment diferent.
When the sun began to set behind the mountains, Enric left the service with a different feeling.
A la botiga de records, va comprar una petita rosari de fusta.
At the souvenir shop, he bought a small wooden rosary.
Sabia que aquest objecte senzill seria un símbol de la seva fe renovada i la seva connexió continua amb la seva àvia.
He knew that this simple object would be a symbol of his renewed faith and his ongoing connection with his grandmother.
Mentre descendia pels camins de Montserrat, el cor d'Enric se sentia més lleuger.
As he descended the paths of Montserrat, Enric's heart felt lighter.
Havia trobat una mica de pau.
He had found a bit of peace.
Sortint del monestir, Enric mirava el rosari a la mà.
Leaving the monastery, Enric looked at the rosary in his hand.
No era només un record, sinó un recordatori que, més enllà de la pèrdua, encara hi havia vida i esperança.
It was not just a keepsake, but a reminder that, beyond loss, there was still life and hope.
Va agrair a la Laia per la seva saviesa.
He thanked Laia for her wisdom.
I encara que el dolor no desapareix del tot, el seu esperit havia trobat un nou camí cap a l'acceptació i l'amor.
And although the pain does not disappear completely, his spirit had found a new path towards acceptance and love.
Enric sabia que els dies futurs portarien nous reptes, però ara tenia la força de Montserrat per acompanyar-lo en el seu viatge.
Enric knew that future days would bring new challenges, but now he had the strength of Montserrat to accompany him on his journey.
