The Campsite
How beautiful and joyful it is for brothers and sisters to live together
"Therefore, behold, I will draw her to me, I will lead her into the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart. I will make her her vineyards and transform the valley of Acòr into a door of hope. There he will sing as in the days of his youth, as when he came out of the land of Egypt. And it will happen on that day – the oracle of the Lord – you will call me: My husband, and you will no longer call me: My master. I will take the names of the Baals out of your mouth, which will no longer be remembered. At that time I will make an alliance for them with the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air and with the reptiles of the ground; bow and sword and war I will eliminate from the country; and I will let them rest peacefully. I will make you my bride forever, I will make you my bride in justice and law, in benevolence and love, I will betroth you to me in fidelity and you will know the Lord" (Hos. 2,16-21)
The Blessed Sacrament is continually exposed with brothers who in turn never leave the presence of Jesus. The tent is the heart of the campsite, which can be visited at any time for a refreshment of the soul
Immeasurable gift
Within the framework of community activities is the organization, during the summer holidays, of a Community Camping, which in addition to being a moment of healthy refreshment, also represents a moment of intense and vital spiritual growth for all participants.
The campsite allows you to live a wonderful balance between the healthy rest to live in the family and an authentic experience refreshing in the spirit
The experience of community camping is an immeasurable gift offered by the Lord to experience the spiritual beauty of fraternal life. Camping is not a spiritual retreat punctuated by prayers and various celebrations, it is not the place of catechesis and teachings, it is not the time of life review, nor the place where one takes care of the brother to "make him grow" or to solve his personal problems.
The moments to eat are wonderful occasions to experience the beauty of conviviality, of partying and joking together, of sharing a "sacred" act of human life
The campsite is the "place of life"
The campsite is the "place of life" where what has been meditated, prayed, explained, taught on the path of growth during the year, is lived and celebrated; it is the favourable time in which to strengthen fraternal relationships by giving space to knowledge and sharing; it is a propitious occasion to experience forgiveness and to learn to live together and to love the defects of one's brother; it is in short, the implementation for a period of time, of that experience of community life dreamed of and longed for by the Lord, where charisms and ministries are exercised in everyday life. All this is carried out by the Lord, in an atmosphere of well-deserved rest and joyful conviviality. For a few weeks a year daily life can be set up in a completely community dimension: the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in the center of the field, a sign of the Lordship of Christ; personal prayer done in the chapel every day, in the rounds of adoration; daily community prayer; the celebration of the Eucharist, where brothers and sisters experience and strengthen communion, the service offered to make the life of their brothers and sisters easier.
