From November 20 to 27, most of the members of the Community of Saint Paul travelled to the USA to participate in our annual retreat. This year we met at the Benedictine house of spirituality located in Benet Lake, Wisconsin.
Those in charge of directing the retreat were Fr. Curt Frederick, priest of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, and Barbara Anne Cusack, chancellor of the same archdiocese. For a week, guided by the reflections and questions of the two of them, the participants in the retreat were able to take a break from our usual activities (which we develop in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Bolivia, Ethiopia and in the U.S. ) and—in a great atmosphere of prayer and fraternity—rediscover the presence of God among us and in our lives. These have been, for everyone, beautiful and fruitful days.
