Monthly Recollection at La Verna

We had our monthly recollection on 6 and 7th December....it began with an introductory talk on the theme "Francis and Crib". It was well planned quite earlier but just last week the Holy Father has sent his teachings on the "significance and Importance of the Crib"....it became handy for me to speak on the same subject.....
 The next day morning.....the brothers were surprised to see the Crib in the Chapel with Christmas tree.....we sat around it and had a prayer service ...based on the theme
 Various elements of the crib were explained and prayed .....
 At 9am we began the talk......through power point.....after which we had confessions ....one of our capuchin friars from Kerala is doing his doctorate....who regularly comes for the sacrament of confession.....at 11.30 we began the Eucharistic celebration.....we all squatted and celebrated the mass...Crib and the Christmas tree was in the background....
