Da sabato 1 a lunedì 3 febbraio si è svolto nella nostra casa di Cracovia l’ormai annuale ritiro vocazionale invernale. Sul tema “Żyć tobą, Panie!” (“Vivere di te, o Signore!”) P. Kazimierz Sobański ha accompagnato 8 giovani di Tarnów e 3 di Grudziądz durante tutto il weekend, sostenuto dalla comunità e dal sig. Janusz Jackowski, insegnante di religione nella scuola dei giovani di Tarnów. Le giornate hanno visto alternare momenti di riflessione o lavori di gruppo a momenti di preghiera e di svago. La domenica poi è stata dedicata alla visita di alcuni luoghi sacri di Cracovia, soprattutto al santuario dell’Ecce Homo e al convento delle suore Albertynki figlie spirituali di San Brat Albert Adam Chmielowski, apostolo dei poveri. Dopo l’incontro finale di lunedì mattina e la consegna di un attestato di partecipazione i giovani hanno completato la visita di Cracovia e sono rientrati alle loro case.
