Meditation: reference to last year’s retreat; Adoration; Liturgy of the Hours

Holy Hour: Priesthood and sacrifice are inscribed very deeply into the reality of creation: of the world and of the human being. While this reality, on the one hand, shows the dependence of everything that is created on the Creator, on the other hand, it in a particular way expresses and actualises the relationship of the gift, the giving of oneself, which is special to the human being as a person. This relation is ‘introduced’ by Christ into the Trinitarian, that is ultimate, dimension.
