International Elderly Day..

International Elderly Day
Because they are our blessing, our role models, and our ideals in life.
Because they embraced us in their hearts and held us on their shoulders during all the stages of our lives.
Because they are the ones who watched over our upbringing and spent their lives for us.
Today, we celebrate with them and with the whole world the International Elderly Day which falls on the 1st of October, the celebration was within our fraternity “Simon and Anna” Which was founded especially for them. In this fraternity we aspire to return some of their offered sacrifices: their care, their love and their follow-up, as well as we want to share with them all the periods of anxiety, pain and frustration due to the great difficulties they are facing nowadays such as the travel of their loved ones or the deterioration of their health.
Today, we gather here in an activity in the monastery of the Holy Land to share Jesus in the journey, to share our troubles and difficulties, joys and victories, to share at the table the Body and Blood of the Lord and share a good meal prepared in our kitchen.
