It was Peter's first time following the Fraternity Exercises. What stuck in his mind was how much we need Christ to break through. A few days later he went to dinner at "My Father's House", a non-profit organisation that supports men on parole...

For Monica, coming together to watch the Exercises is the chance to experience that "someone thinks about me."

The Massachusetts community began the month of May with a pilgrimage. "An amazing sense of a common understanding of what we were doing there and what had brought us together." Fr. Luis experiences the "taste of freedom" with his friends from Boston.

He met the movement in the mid-1980s and from there a great story of communion was born. This is how a friend remembered Tom Sullivan at his funeral a few days ago.

The desire to start over after a year of restrictions and exhaustion. Universities are slowly being filled again. Sofia shares her questions and the Archbishop of Milan's provocation during the vigil for university students.

A year of pandemic, hospitalization for Covid, treatment at home, the closeness of so many friends... And the opportunity to follow the three-day Fraternity event online. Luca speaks of his gratitude for what is happening.

The Baptism of a friend met at university. A yes that becomes the sign of a preference for each of his friends, of "Christ working in us".

Churches in Ireland are still closed due to the pandemic. Organizing the Good Friday gesture was a bit of an odyssey, but also an opportunity for new encounters and to enjoy the wonder of the latest arrival to our community.

When Covid hit, Matt found himself working under one roof with his six kids and his pregnant wife, desperately seeking "projects" that provided an escape. Then, an invitation came.

The pandemic has been an opportunity to translate some of the texts proposed by CL to be able to read them in their mother tongue and to make new encounters: "from the last to arrive, we learn what the charism we have received is”.
