In the course of the meeting about the topicality of Works of Mercy in Europe today, promoted by Ccee in Sarajevo from 15th to 18th September, participants will visit five Works of Mercy being carried out in the Balkan city. At the end of the meeting, through a video-interview with Jean Vanier, participants will hear how the desire to witness to God’s mercy was at the basis of the foundation of the “L’Arche” community and the “Faith and Light” movement”. The programme for the meeting is available at this link and on the CCEE website – www.ccee.eu. The meeting will end with the participants going through the Holy Door and the celebration of Mass in the city’s Cathedral on Sunday 18 September at 1030.
