Tomorrow the New Men leave for a week to go on retreat. We'll be at a Franciscan retreat center in Greccio, a small town in eastern Lazio. It's known for being the town in which St. Francis in 1223 designed the first nativity scene, a tradition that has since spread throughout the western world.
I know I promised the update on our trip to Assisi, but unfortunately I still haven't gotten around to it. Perhaps a trip back to the land that Francis frequented will remind me of something that I would have previously forgotten.
We'll spend the week in prayer, contemplation, and rest, and can surely use your prayers should you wish to send them. God bless!
