<\/p>\n
AUGUST 25-30, 2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From August 25 to 30, 2026, Loppiano will once again host an event dedicated to reflection and meditation through a course of spiritual exercises, in the light of the charism of unity. The course alternates guided meditations, moments of silence, adoration, personal conversations, testimonies, and community sharing. The setting of the little town fosters an atmosphere of interiority and fraternity, offering a suitable context for experiencing a powerful time, far from the ordinary rhythms of daily life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The spiritual exercises are led by a team of experts (exegetes, biblical scholars, priests, spiritual guides, etc.). Among them are Luigino Bruni, Michele Lauriola, and Judith Povilus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The theme<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
There are moments when the question \u201cWhere is God?\u201d arises imperiously within us. How can we seek Him when His silence continues over time or when it seems that He has disappeared from our horizon? The spiritual exercises \u201cIs the Lord among us, yes or no?\u201d are intended to be an opportunity to reflect together on these questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Who is it for?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
The proposal is aimed at adults: lay people, priests, consecrated men and women, married couples.<\/p>\n
