From Thursday the 28th of June through Sunday the 1st of July took place the 1st edition of the Family Retreat ‘Vayamos Jubilosos’ for people attached to the Traditional Liturgy of the Roman Rite in Spain. This is the first time ever that such an initiative to deepen the knowledge of the Mass of Ages and the values and principles of Christendom occurs in Spain.
In addition
to the lectures for adults and the parallel educational activities and talks specifically
designed for the participating children, the retreat participants were given
the chance to attend Mass every day, either at one of the Low Masses celebrated
by the priests present at the event, or at the daily Solemn High Mass, which
was the spiritual core of the day. Furthermore,
the attendees took part in different Traditional Catholic devotions such as
daily Solemn Gregorian Vespers, Benediction and the Holy Rosary.
On Saturday,
people walked on pilgrimage to the Shrine of Blessed Virgin Mary of the Cross,
where the approved apparitions of Our Lady to young Inés took place in the 15th
century. Historical characters such as Charles V, John of Austria or Cardinal
Cisneros went on pilgrimage to the Shrine at the time Saint Juana was the
abbess of the attached convent. The Stations of the Cross were prayed on the
way to the Shrine.
Over 65
people have attended the Retreat including many children. The lectures and
talks, were given by several priests and nuns, including the Dean of the
Primate Cathedral of Toledo and Prelate of honour of His Holiness.
One can only thank
God for such an extraordinary event and hope that it brings plenty of graces.
Next year the second edition of the Retreat will take place during first week
of July, God willing.
