THE FACTORY OF PRIESTS – SERRENTI – SATURDAY OCTOBER 27

THE FACTORY OF PRIESTS by and with Giuliana Musso
“Let’s get together in the large silent. But first take off his hat and let’s take a moment to pray for laborers sacrificed so much and ruined in the years and centuries. And, making an effort, spend a rest for the workers. Perhaps they too are victims of a system that was killing man the illusion of honor that God who had created in his image and likeness. “
From “The factories by Predis” Don Antonio Bellina
The seminars
50s and 60s have trained a generation of priests who have been ordained in the years that ended the Second Vatican Council and opened the era of post-conciliar hopes. A generation ago the budget of a lifetime. The life of a priest who has gone through the contemporary history and is witnessing the collapse of the same world that created them.
The human dimension of priests is a little taboo in our society on which it is worth raising the veil, not to feed morbid curiosity but to put the human beings and their needs at the center, or rather above all rule and any doctrine. The seminars a few decades ago have worked to dissociate the emotional world of the future priests of their small size and spiritual devotion. Many of those little priests have spent their lives trying bravely space in which what had been separated and repressed during their training could gather and release. These priests love of life we would like to give a voice with them and find our own struggle to “keep the pieces together.”
