Fourth session - Chapter 12 of John

 Dinner prepared by Martha – to prepare dinner has significance of diakonia
·      When in love you do things which are exaggerated and that is exactly what Maria does…..she is full of love for Jesus….the perfume used was expensive….Judas said why not sold….he wants to do social work…Maria wanted to love the persons….
·      Love is to offer all that we have to others
The act should be full of compassion

 This retreat has made to be silent and meditative.....some of them have already started looking up to the sky for some signs too....good animation by Jude....

 The lush green garden invites all to praise and worship the Lord....friars moving around in the garden.....reminds one about Adam and Eve moving in the garden before the original sin......

 View of Frascati town.....our garden is an ideal place of quite prayer and meditation...the silence here is great...one is automatically led into prayer.....most of our inner issues can be solved and healing can be received in the silence of Frascati convent...
 Living Water flows on.....give life to all....Jesus the Living Water quenches our spiritual thirst and purifies us......this is a kind of a well where water is stored in Frascati Monastery...
