February 24 – 25 (Saturday-Sunday)
The Vice-Dean of Canon Law of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross came to PCF to give the recollection to the student-priests. Basing the theme on Jn 19:37 “They shall look on Him whom they have pierced,” Don Luis talked about looking at Jesus on the cross to listen to Jesus who speaks to us especially this time of lent. The tears that come out sometimes when we look at the cross should give rise to a resolution (to paraphrase St. Josemaria Escriva). In other words, looking at Jesus crucified on the cross, especially this season of lent, invites us to conversion. Furthermore, to look at him is to imitate him. Priestly spirituality has the Cross at its core. It is good to ask where is the Cross in my life, in my priesthood? Where is penance?
