They began on Sunday afternoon and will continue until Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis introduced the practice of holding the spiritual exercises outside of the Vatican. Previously his team shared a bus to travel to the outskirts of Rome to a house run by the Society of St. Paul.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly five days they stayed in isolation, meditating and listening to the reflections of a preacher, although they weren't always easy to understand, not even for the Pope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>It made me laugh when you said someone in only reading the titles of the meditations, couldn't understand what the goal was. I was also a little disoriented in the first meditation, but later I understood the message. Thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The last time Pope Francis carried out the spiritual exercises here was in 2019. In 2020 he stayed in the Vatican due to a cold, although the Holy See said it was not coronavirus. In 2021 and 2022, the trip was suspended as a safety measure against COVID-19.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>JRB<br \/>\nTR: JM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 7, 2022.
