On Sunday, May 12, we met for our last Mass of the year, to thank God for the blessings and gifts that he granted to our Catechism center.
The Liturgy held by Fr Firas Lutfi, due to the journey of Father Ibrahim to Italy. In his homily father Firas spoke about Jesus the good Shepherd who cares about the herd and leads the sheep to the green pastures because he loves them and because the sheep are belong to Him.
All catechesis that you have received during the yearlong was in purpose to make you sheep in the fold of Jesus Christ, so you hear His voice and learn how to love and serve Him.
During last season you have made lots of joyful activities, but the remarkable one was what you did last Lenten fast, when you collected the offering of the collection basket. With those monies you bought gifts for the elderlies visited them and prayed with them, you also went to the center of children with special needs, spent a nice time with the kids, and you made important visits to patients in hospitals and you touched the suffers by your loving hearts and your gifts. By those activities you pleased to the LORD, for so do the sheep of Christ.
The Offering of the Mass, were beautiful combination of promising the Good Shepherd to remain faithful to what we received during the year, promising Him to open our heart to His teaching as was the slogan of the year ”Open your heart to me” and stay close to Him so we can defend sins, we offered our life to Virgin Mary our Mother so She guided us in the way to meet Jesus, we also have prayed for peace in the world, in our country and in our city.
At the end of the Mass, we thank the Lord for the blessed educational year, for all that we learned and experienced. Thanks from the heart to Father Ibrahim for his generosity and love, and also many thanks and appreciations to the educators of our center for their hard work and good effort.
After the Mass, the children of Catechist met with their teachers to evaluate their journey during the year, and then it was time to take photos and to eat meal together and to distribute gifts to participants .
See you soon in new activities.
