The Basilica of St. Benedict reopens. Boccardo issues a pastoral letter: «Let lectio divina become a living part of pastoral life»

Nine years after the earthquake, the Basilica of St. Benedict reopens as a sign of civil and spiritual rebirth. In his Letter “Listen, my son”, Archbishop Boccardo invites us to view the reconstruction not as an architectural achievement, but as a parable of faith and of Europe: “The rubble does not have the last word.”
