Dear brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of Romita.

It is with infinite Love that we invite you to celebrate Life on 19 May.

This year, the coincidences of time give us the immense gift of experiencing a triple noble Feast together:

• Pentecost 2024
• Anniversary of the heavenly birth of Brother Bernadine (+ 22 May 2022)
• Birthday of the Romita, which precisely with the Holy Mass of Pentecost on 19 May 1991 saw the beginning of its Sacred Work of Reconstruction.

On Sunday 19 May 2024, at the sacred Franciscan hermitage La Romita di Cesi, starting at 11 a.m. we will sing and celebrate Brother Bernardino, La Romita and the Holy Spirit who has always guided and protected this Project of God.

We await you in great numbers, it will be a great opportunity to meet again in the spirit that Bernardino desired for the continuation of this life project, this Utopia that he managed to realise with so much love, devotion and strength.

What to bring:
Something to share on the lunch table
(savoury pies, cold pasta or rice, sweet cakes, etc.)
Open heart and a great desire to participate!

Those who come by car and have free places let us know, so that we can organise a lift for some friends who are unable to walk up, in the spirit of brotherhood that distinguishes us.

In order to better organise the day, please call the Romita number 0744283006 to confirm your attendance.
This will enable us to prepare a healthy, tasty and sufficient meal for each of you!

With infinite Love and Gratitude,
See you on 19 May at Romita!

Happy Birthday, Brother Bernardino

84 years ago was born in Montemesola a man who inspired the lives of many of us.
With his love for Francis and his commitment to restore the most authentic values of Franciscanism, he sanctified his entire life, always living and working for the good and the beautiful. Like a burning candle: luminous and warm!

May each of us carry and keep him today, in the tabernacle of his own heart.

And then, on the eve of his birth into heaven, let us honor and celebrate him together:

Sunday, May 21, 2023 at La Romita di Cesi.

It will be a feast like the one we celebrate in honor of St. Francis, but entirely dedicated to Bernardino. We want it to become an annual gathering to gather all of us in his memory and to honor his great soul.

May he always live in the hearts of the people who met him, knew him and loved him.

God bless you all ✨
See you on May 21! ❤️

On October 2 – 2022 we continue a tradition much loved by Brother Bernardino and celebrate St. Francis. (FESTA DI SAN FRANCESCO)

Pace e Bene e Amore Infinito

La Romita di Cesi

from Monday 15/08 to Saturday 27/08 we will have the opportunity to experience together a series of meetings dedicated to the spirituality of early Christianity, through in-depth studies on the life and sayings of the Desert Fathers associated with the spirituality of Franco Battiato, whose music and texts often reveal his teachings.

To accompany us in these meetings, we will have the good fortune to have with us Giancarlo Gasser, aggregate and collaborator of F. I. E. S. (Federazione Italiana Esercizi Spirituali), who will guide us through music and insights into the Mysticism of the Christian East.

Furthermore, together with Prof. Gasser we will have the opportunity to meet Susanna, a spagirist and connoisseur of medicinal herbs, who during these days will give us the opportunity to tap into the very Wisdom of Nature and the potential of healing herbs.

You are free to attend these meetings, which will be held every afternoon from 15/8 to 27/8 from 16:00 to 18:00 at the Romita.

We await you with open arms 🌻
Pace e Bene
La Romita
