Since Sunday evening of this past week, the Holy Father, Pope Francis and members of the Roman Curia have been on retreat, taking part in Spiritual Exercises. These Exercises came to a conclusion this morning. Following the final session, the Holy Father thanked the presenter, Father Bruno Secondin, a Carmelite, for his insights.
In the name of all of us here, myself included, I wish to thank Father for his work among us for our Exercises. It is not easy to give a retreat to priests! We are all a bit complicated, but you managed to sow some seeds. May the Lord make it possible for these seeds you have given us to grow. I hope, we all hope that we may be able to leave this place with a bit of Elijah's mantle in hand and in our hearts. Thank you Father!
