The first Lectio Petri on Qohelet<\/strong> (or Ecclesiastes), the Book of Crisis, took place yesterday evening in St. Peter’s Basilica on the Altare della Cathedra, under Bernini’s Gloria. About a thousand people listened to the arguments and readings from the biblical text in an atmosphere of profound spirituality and attention. The Lectio Petri are now in their fourth edition and are organized by the Cortile dei Gentili Foundation<\/strong> and the Fratelli tutti<\/em> Foundation<\/strong>.
\nYesterday’s Lectio focused on Time<\/strong>, with the subtitle \u201cThere is nothing new under the sun.\u201d This passage from the Old Testament, which has an underlying tone of pessimism, provided an opportunity to take stock of the current state of the world in which we live.<\/p>\n

As in the traditional format, the spiritual reflection by H.E. Cardinal Mauro Gambetti<\/strong>, Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican and President of the Fratelli tutti<\/em> Foundation, opened the evening. This was followed by a reading by actress Nancy Brilli and commentary by H.E. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi<\/strong>, President Emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Culture and founder of the Courtyard of the Gentiles, with several musical interludes.<\/p>\n

The final analysis was entrusted to Enrico Mentana<\/strong>, journalist and director of TgLa7, who drew inspiration from the words of Cardinals Gambetti and Ravasi to emphasize in particular the role of religions in understanding an era of radical transformation.<\/p>\n

Watch the first meeting (in Italian) here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The second lecture, scheduled for Tuesday, November 18<\/strong>, will feature singer Noemi<\/strong> with a reflection on vanity<\/em><\/strong> (the title of the meeting is, in fact, \u201cVanity of vanities\u201d<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":39449,"template":"","tags":[],"categories":[236,212],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe first Lectio Petri in St. Peter's Basilica on Qohelet, the book of crisis.
