General Curia Rereat, Frascati – 2016
The first buds have blossomed on the trees that new fruit may come. Right at this time of the year, from February 28 to March 4, 2016, the majority of the fraternity of the General Curia of Friars Minor Capuchin settled down to listen to the Word of God. The spiritual retreat was guided by Father Gabriele Ferlisi, OAD, Prior General of the Order of Discalced Augustinians. He presented the person of St. Augustine of Hippo, bringing him very close to those who listened. The theme of mercy was highlighted, that the hearers might experience this mystery of God in the Year of Mercy. The retreat was held in the friary at Frascati, near Rome.
“Longing desire prays always, though the tongue be silent. If you are ever longing, you are ever praying. When sleeps prayer? When desire grows cold.” (St. Augustine, Sermon 30, 7) )
