“Expectation is the very structure of our nature, it is the essence of our soul. It is not something calculated: it is given. For the promise is at the origin, from the very origin of our creation. He who has made man has also made him as “promise.” Structurally man waits; structurally he is a beggar; structurally life is a promise.”
The Encounter will embark in its 3-day journey exploring this promise that is the essence of our souls.
