Prior to the First Session of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, participants experienced a three-day spiritual retreat in Sacrofano (near Rome). Each day, participants received two meditations by Sr. Maria Grazia Angelini O.S.B., one at Lauds and the other before Mass, and two meditations by Fr. Timothy Radcliffe, O.P. during the morning.
