Between the 19th and the 23rd of June, a group of Augustinian friars gathered for a few days of retreat at the Good Samaritan House in Santa Venera. During these days the friars had the opportunity to stop for a while from the routine of life and live moments of silence, prayer and reflection accompanied by Mons. Charles Cordina who animated these days. Fr Charles’ reflections combined the proper values ​​of the life of the friars as consacrated persons with so many concrete examples coming from the years of pastoral experiences of the same Fr Charles in various areas of the Church in Malta.

These days were also a beautiful opportunity for the friars from different communities to come together and share the beauty of the Augustinian religious life beyond the daily commitments and everything that usually shapes the days with so much activity. The days of the retreat also provide an occasion for a wonderful and calmer experience of prayer and an opportunity of spiritual renewal. Another group of friars will take part in another retreat that will take place in Gozo later this year.
