Pope
Francis has decided that the Lenten Spiritual Exercises for the Roman
Curia will be held in the “Casa del Divin Maestro” (House of the Divine
Master) in Albano, which is run by the Pauline congregation.
The retreat
will be led by Roman diocesan priest, Msgr. Angelo De Donatis. It will
begin the evening of March 9th, a Sunday, and run through
Friday morning (14 March), which is the first week of Lent.
According to
a statement, the objective is to be able to reside in a place that is
silent and reserved, far from the place of daily work, in order to
better concentrate on the Spiritual Exercises.
