Let us try to identify with the disciples after Easter. What prevailed in their hearts, in their eyes, in their self-awareness, if not His living presence?

He was not doctrine, a list of things to do, a sentiment. Yes, He was an external presence, different but one that permeated their life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The notes of Father&nbsp;Carr&oacute;n can read here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/communio.stblogs.org\/Fraternity%20Exercises%202011.pdf\">Fraternity Exercises 2011.pdf<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Also, a friend, Webster Bull, wrote about his experience of the Exercises on his blog,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witness2christ.blogspot.com\/\"><b>Witness<\/b><\/a>:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witness2christ.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/cl-fraternity-exercises-1.html\">Part I<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witness2christ.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/cl-fraternity-exercises-2.html\">Part II<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witness2christ.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/cl-fraternity-exercises-3.html\">Part III<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witness2christ.blogspot.com\/2011\/05\/notes-on-2011-fraternity-exercises.html\">Part IV<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2011 Spiritual Exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation were given in various parts of the world under the theme of Christ being a new creation.
