Break open my heart’

An interreligious reflection on setting out, being on the move and arriving in two stages Founded by Bishop Radolt of Verona in 826, the “Radolf Cell” is still a place of prayer in today’s “Cathedral of Our Lady”. It testifies to the courage to follow an inner impulse to move on and to trust that, wherever we are, the relationship with the divine, with our inner essence, will remain. In this respect, it is also an encouragement to fail, to follow the heart and the spirit. And it is always a step into the unknown, a step into the unknown – which is only meant to become home.

” 1st station: “Setting off” 17.07.26, 18.30 hrs
