Pope, Vatican officials begin Lenten Retreat
CWN - March 14, 2011
Pope Benedict XVI and the leaders of the Roman Curia begin their annual Lenten Retreat on Sunday evening, March 13.
During the week-long spiritual exercises there will be no papal audiences, and the work of the Roman Curia is curtailed while top officials attend the retreat.
Father Francois-Marie Léthel, a French Carmelite priest, is preaching this year’s retreat. The theme for the retreat is: “The light of Christ in the heart of the Church: John Paul II and the theology of the saints.”
