Yes! Long ago that we've given most of our new ... and yet life goes on ... and growing. Our Community IMO is not only trying to find its footing as a Community IMO but also "invent new ways of community relations.
start with our Community. There are individuals and the community.
The People?
For most disabled among us, we live in the moment, in the immediate present: we must accept that today (with the expression of many physical and mental suffering) does not match yesterday (a real internal and external peace, the joy of communicating with other fraternal) ... or vice versa. And that can vary from one moment to another, I think especially to my brother Andrew Courjal gives us all a wonderful testimony of fraternal love and faith in Jesus Christ even though he suffers intensely.
By visiting other older religious communities (to lead spiritual retreats) I think the grace of our Community - Loïc MEGRET paraphrase - that is actually being confronted with the suffering of others: we can not be insensitive when the cry of the Other we reached the heart. Then I think of things that were unimaginable three months ago.
Example: On Friday, as almost weekly community meeting. After a while, Andre Courjal rises visibly distraught. Behind him, a hand comes down again and caress him gently in his chair with one hand from someone who seemed completely locked in his inner pain 3 months ago!
And in the care of people, we recognize the skill and delicate attention of staff. This allows us to play complementary and reciprocal respect of functions. This also allows us to live an active compassion but because distanced, we do not destroy.
The Community?
Virtually every week we have a community meeting. These meetings the Community were led by Albert SCHNEIDER, Jo and I BALL. For half an hour we listen to one of us about his journey and we seek to learn from to build our community charter. With Marcel
Ayrinhac creating Jec Joc and Ceylon, we asked about the possibility of having a social engagement in our community and our concern extends to our attention to hotel staff and caregivers.
With Jo Boisseau, we rediscover that "God always does what is good for humans. He gradually discovers. Slowly he opens our eyes. For nothing is impossible with God "Hymn for Vespers of Easter.
With Andre REBUFFET, we believe that, whatever the place and time, we must remain faithful to the call received.
(Admittedly, it would be interesting for you to have their stories and not only our conclusions community ... but there it is!)
And then the word is given freely to everyone who want to express themselves. And things are called the most varied: from the need toothpaste to comment on the liturgy or concrete proposals. And finally concrete info.
Our Community lived a highlight of Monday, May 17 to Friday 21 May with the visit of our Vicar Provincial in responsibility for "old". His visit was primarily active consultation with members of the Community for the appointment of Community Council members. For me, the Community Council is really a priority I will try to be as clear as possible. The start of the nursing homes and our community has not been easy, of course, we had everything in place. I was taken often enough to express the structures involved (both the nursing homes that Province) critical remarks, sometimes very strong. Even if I keep track, there was no question for me to carry the weight to the whole Community, so I could see that some of us individually and then take my responsibilities. Surely I must seem like a hypersensitive enquiquineur and in so doing, my word is devalued. With a group (the Council of Community) the Word of our community find a real strength.
In principle, our Provincial, Yves CHALVET of RECY, June 8 will be the official opening of the Community and I hope he can officially install our Community Council.
But we also contribute to inter-communal life. While we may regret that, despite the efforts of Martin, the host, few of us participate in fun activities on offer.
Three sheets were circulated in the community where those who wanted could sign up:
MAKE A TEAM OF INTER-LITURGY Jo Boisseau, Jean-Pierre Bonnafoux
small group SHARE ON INTERESTS
There was also recently on May 21, the official inauguration of the nursing homes: the Cornerstone thanked all the authorities which have made possible the opening of the nursing homes Saint Francis of Assisi. Where Ministers
Elected ... There will be 17 June Day by Martine residents prepared with the collaboration of many: the musicianship of Leo will finally speak publicly. And all our friends and family can participate at one time or another!
is life as it has, and it is LIFE!
