The lights of the chapel sparkle according to the movement of the sun during the day.
“Let us bring a conversion to the fraternity. “
“God is here. “
“Come here to feel a presence that consoles, heals and supports.”

Reciting the psalms in two choruses, alternating the offices with the three languages, gestured expressions while listening to music, exchanged gestures of fraternity, long periods of silence and meditation … so many opportunities to unite prayer with songs, readings, attitudes.
