the wounds were still too fresh.\nBut the Lord continued to &#8220;importune&#8221; us without being satisfied.\nThere was always informal contact, a desire to resume a dialogue, brothers coming and going.    <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>This year a stronger and more meaningful step was taken: seeing each other, we talked about what we have become, as is normal among brothers who see each other again after a long time, but above all we prayed together.\nWe listened to the Lord telling us that every division is the fruit of sin, that we should not be content with the state of things but that with every care we should work to restore unity; and He will do the rest. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>Father Massimo Vedova celebrated the Eucharist and although he did not know the events except by hearsay, he spoke words inspired by the Spirit that moved us deeply.\nWe prayed over each other, asking God to be fully available to his plans, his will.\nThe meeting, the sharing, the prayer perceptibly began to heal the story.\nWe have no plans, we do not know the road ahead, but we believe that the Lord will build.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture data-lightbox=\"https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Magnficats-1.jpg\"><source type='image\/jpeg' srcset='https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Magnficats-1.jpg 607w, https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Magnficats-1-300x169.jpg 300w' sizes='(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px' \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"607\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Magnficats-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6253\"\/><\/picture><figcaption>In adoration with the brothers of the<em> Magnificat Dominum Community<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture data-lightbox=\"https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Magnficats-2-edited.jpg\"><source type='image\/jpeg' srcset='https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Magnficats-2-edited.jpg 611w, https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Magnficats-2-edited-300x213.jpg 300w' sizes='(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px' \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/comunitamagnificat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Magnficats-2-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6260\"\/><\/picture><figcaption>Together in the courtyard of San Manno<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those familiar with the history of the Community, the news is significant: during 2015, &#8220;official&#8221;
