The Assembly that concluded the GS Equipe (September 3, 2016) recalled and began with Julián Carrón's greeting at the Easter Triduum: "We all know from experience that it is not easy to find people who live up to their desires. In the same way, we know that without the presence of a great friend we would soon surrender to the urgent needs of life."
The question that was the leitmotif of the Assembly arose from this statement:
"Have you had the experience, in this time after the Triduum, especially during the holidays, of a friend who does not abandon you?".
