I spent this week at an International Conference at Rimini, Italy which is on the Adriatic Sea. It was sponsored by the Communion and Liberation movement, a Catholic movement which has members in our Diocese.
Close to a million people attended from seventy nations. The topic was "That nature which pushes us to desire great things is the heart" which put the focus on our desire to do great things. I was edified by this conference. Most of the attendees were young: teens, 20's and 30's and the majority were from Italy. I was given such hope in the young. Those at the conference had such a desire to know God. They were most helpful and the creation of the exhibitions was done by college students.
I hope you are well. I am in Rome for a few days and will update you from there. I was blessed to be able to say mass this weekend at St. Peter's (at a side altar).

Mass at St. Peter's? How wonderful that must have been.
ReplyDeleteI found and read some of the website for Communion and Liberation, which, I was surprised to learn, was established long ago. The name sounds quite contemporary. This conference must have been quite an experience, Father. I can just imagine high hope in the young at such a gathering...
I am so enjoying the information and photos you're posting. Thank you :) !
You're in our prayers. God bless you, Father, now and always.
