Communicationes Rome (16-02-2010).- This year (21-25 February) the Pontifical Theological Faculty of the Teresianum celebrates its 51st Spirituality Week. Pope Benedict XVI’s recent Encyclical “Charity in Truth”, “Development needs Christians” provides the theme for the week’s presentations. The Encyclical, with its careful analysis of the causes of the present economic crisis, has aroused world-wide interest, far beyond the confines of the Catholic Church.
The Governor of the Bank of Italy, Antonio Fazio, will open the Spirituality Week proceedings with a paper on “The Encyclical ‘Charity in Truth’ in our present social-economic context”. Later on that evening a group of the Faculty Professors will analyse the repercussion of the Pope’s message from different viewpoints. On Thursday 25, the Vicar General of the Order, Fr. Emilio J. Martínez, will conclude the week’s presentations with a paper entitled: “Change man’s heart in order to give a heart to the world. Reflections in the light of number 21 of Charity in Truth”.
The Spirituality Week is a project of the Institute of Spirituality of the Teresianum Faculty. At the beginning of each Lent for the past 50 years, this event treated important themes in the field of Christian Spirituality. This year’s 51st anniversary provides part of the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the Teresianum Faculty itself.
