Everywhere: Spiritual retreat
Wednesday May 28, 2025

Spiritual retreat for MSC and FNDSC members from the provinces of France and Switzerland Issoudun, 12–18 May 2025. This retreat was a great experience of communion between our congregations. It was a spiritual, fraternal and family break in a calm atmosphere conducive to rejuvenation. The community of the FNDSC Mother House welcomed us very warmly. What could be better than a spiritual retreat between MSC and FNDSC to regain initiative and enjoy a new rhythm?
To take a few days away from the daily routine for reflection on one’s missionary and community life, as well as one’s doubts and faith. To focus one’s gaze and words on the Sacred Heart to be more freely open to hope. The daily moments of prayer, the teachings received, and the memories of encounters continue to accompany us.
May NDSC assist us, amidst the many voices that rise each day, to discover his call to ‘go forth,’ to overcome the fears and uncertainties of our current realities, and to be joyfully available to BE THE HEART OF GOD ON EARTH.
Jean Noël FAYE, MSC (Senegal)
