Lent 2024 : Meditation N°6 from Don Marco Bove
Fidelity time
Friendship becomes deeper when you take the time to be together. Between gatherings, members of the community like to meet up in small groups, or simply by two or three: this is the time of fidelity.
When ties of friendship are forged during the course of our gatherings, we naturally move towards fidelity time, which happens between two gatherings and is nourished through small signs such as a phone call, an unexpected visit etc. These « little » things can transform people’s existence : they know they are no longer alone.
Communities also like to go on pilgrimages, holiday camps, retreats... which give them the occasion to become a community that lives together for a few days.
