Lectio Petri – Qohelet, Crisis

We are pleased to launch “Lectio Petri – Qohelet, Crisis,” a series of meetings organized by Cortile dei Gentili together with Fondazione Fratelli Tutti, aimed at exploring the Book of Qohelet with fresh attention to our present challenges.

This project is envisioned as a forum for conversation among prominent figures from culture, arts, media, institutions — and His Eminence Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, who will guide the biblical reflections. Each session will also open space for secular voices, capable of engaging Scripture and shedding light on the questions and challenges of our times.

The gatherings will include moments of musical meditation, offering the audience a contemplative interlude and an additional expressive pathway into the themes.

The first edition of Lectio Petri has already given rise to a podcast series across multiple episodes — a legacy enabling continued listening and reflection beyond the live events. (Listen to the podcasts here)
