Friday morning saw the conclusion of the Holy Father’s Lenten retreat with the senior members of the Roman Curia, at the Divine Master House in Ariccia. Before returning to the Vatican the Pope addressed his thanks to Carmelite Father Bruno Secondin, who this year led the meditations on the theme: “Servants and prophets of the living God.” “It is not easy to give exercises to priests,” said Pope Francis, “we are all a bit complicated, but you managed to sow seeds. May the Lord make these seeds that you has given us grow.”
