On 11 May, like every year, the members of the Generalate, together with the friends, guests and other personnel of the house, took part in the Easter Picnic. This year we visited the gardens of Ninfa, the abbeys of Valvisciolo and Fossanova and at the end, Terracina, a place on the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
Thanks to the good climate, we were able to appreciate the plants coming from the whole world in the gardens of Ninfa, to breathe the serene and prayerful air in the Cistercian monasteries and to meditate at the place where St. Thomas Aquinas died (Fossanova). Finally we had a beautiful view of the ancient temple of Jupiter at Terracina. The day spent together gave us another opportunity to strengthen our friendship and to know a little more of Italy.
