The German community met at House Klara in Oberzell from 14 to 16 August for the annual silence retreat. Under the existing conditions we had come together in a small group. What a joy that Fr. Laurence accompanied us. In his talks he took up the special time and challenge and at the same time nourished our inner being. Hope and joy, how do we reach these sources in our interior. For him too it was the first retreat in this crisis. We are inspired and grateful for having been together!(Susanna Melzer, National coordinator Germany)Â
