“You know when I walk and when I rest.” The Lord is always with us! This is what young people today are looking for and want to experience. God takes care of us even when we are spending an enjoyable vacation in the company of others.
For this reason, the team “In the Footsteps of Paul,” composed of members from all 10 branches of the Pauline Family founded by Fr. James Alberione, held a summer camp from 22-27 August 2023 for people in the 16-35 age bracket in Spicello, a town that is home to a beautiful shrine to St. Joseph, the guardian of the PF’s Holy Family Institute.
The vocation team helped us explore the five human senses, so as to discover with the Lord the “sense” of our lives. Taste and see how good the Lord is! Taste, sight, but also hearing, touch and smell were gateways for getting in touch with Jesus, who became flesh, and for getting to know the brothers and sisters we met during this experience, who touched our lives profoundly.
The Word of God, catechesis, silence, reflection and sharing marked our mornings, and also offered us digital workshops in which we learned how to transform our experiences into witness of life. Our afternoons included sports and games, visits to the seaside, and sightseeing trips to the Furlo Gorge, Urbino and Mondavio, because beauty is good for the heart and being together gives flavor to life.
Our sincere thanks to all those who accompanied our adventures!
