When I informed a brother Dominican and friend that I had begun my 21 days quarantine (September 11 – October 2, 2021) at Pousada Marina Infante Hotel, he advised me: “Make a retreat; it is convenient for you.” Certainly, it would be convenient, but I was not then in the mood. Nevertheless, I had decided earlier that it would be three weeks of introspection and peace. Besides my usual duties as a Dominican, a book I read helped me much.
