The Gift of Mercy
February 5, 2016 – February 7, 2016
Led by the Most Reverend Frank Caggiano
The American Association of the Order of Malta held its 2016 Spiritual Retreat February 5 through 7 at the Bethany Retreat Center in Lutz, Florida. Over 35 attendees participated in the retreat, hailing from Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to Michigan, and as far south as Florida.
Our retreat master was the Most Reverend Frank Caggiano, Bishop of Bridgeport. Bishop Caggiano, who serves as a Conventual Chaplain for the Order and is very active in the Connecticut Area.
The theme of the retreat was “The Gift of Mercy.” Bishop Caggiano invited attendees into an exploration of the great gift of God’s mercy that comes to us in Jesus Christ. He reminded us that mercy and compassion lie at the heart of the mission that God has given each of us.
Below are summaries of the Bishop’s talks at the four conferences during the retreat.
