The expected exercises are an opportunity for the meeting and allow us to disconnect a bit. An occasion to ‘trace’ or reorient the course. They are the possibility of reviving our senses and making them more sensitive. A reality that is summarized in a part of the message of the … Pope in the World Day of Social Communications where he warns that ‘there is also another worrying phenomenon, that we could define how the programmed dispersion of attention through digital systems, which, when profiling according to the logic of the market, modify our perception of reality. In this way we attend, often impotent, to a kind of atomization of interests, and this ends up undermining the foundations of our community being, the ability to work together for the common good, to listen to us, to understand the reasons of the other ‘.
From February 13 to 16, the youth of the Diocese of Granada are invited to participate in spiritual exercises with the motto ‘What if you stop? Not much knowing and satisfies the soul, but feeling and liking things internally ‘(EE 2). Some exercises convened by the childhood and youth delegations and that of the University Pastoral. The exercises will take place in the House of Spirituality Papa Francisco, located in the building of the Seminary Mayor San Cecilio (Paseo de Cartuja, 49). The spiritual exercises are aimed at young people between 18 and 35 years old and prior registration is necessary.
Pope Francis also insists on the prologue of the last book of Austen Ivereight about the need to stand. ‘It is not time to entrust and close the doors. I see clearly that the Lord calls us to get out of ourselves, to get up and walk. He asks us not to apart from the pains and screams of our time, but that we enter them, opening channels of his grace. Each of us is one of those channels under our baptism. The question is to open it and keep it open. ‘
