Indore — The Universal Solidarity Movement (USM), which is committed
to promote peace and harmony, plans to organize a retreat for bishops.
USM national coordinator Fr. Varghese Alengaden says the retreat is
only for bishops because of the great influence they have in their
dioceses and the impact they can make both within the Church and in
society. Those who are open to new ways will enrich themselves much from
this leadership retreat, he claimed.
“Surely this is not a traditional retreat. It is fully based on the
life and teachings of Christ. It is an opportunity to explore new
possibilities,” Father Alengaden added.
The retreat is scheduled for August 18-25 at Indore, the commercial capital of the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
Fr. Jacob Peenickaparampbil, a member of Carmelites of Mary
Immaculate, will join Fr Alengaden as the retreat preachers. The two
priests have conducted many retreats and seminars for several groups of
priests and religious across the country.
The central theme of the retreat is ‘what would Jesus do if he were
present today?’ The first two days will be spent for an exclusive
pilgrimage with Christ with the help of the famous film ‘Jesus of
Nazareth’ by Franco Zeffirelli.
