La Paz, Bolivia, Jan 11, 2006 / 22:00 pm
The Secretary General of the Bishops’ Conference of Bolivia, Bishop Jesus Juarez, announced this week that during their spiritual retreat in the town of Tolata, the country’s bishops would take the opportunity to reflect on “what the Lord wants to tell us” through the recent events that have taken place in Bolivia.
The objective “is to discern, in an atmosphere of prayer and reflection, what the Lord is trying to tell us through the signs of the times manifested in the events we have recently experienced,” he said.
Likewise, Archbishop Tito Solari of Cochabamba said the retreat would also serve as preparation to face a host of new issues in 2006, including the administration of incoming left-wing President Evo Morales.
