On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Order of Malta Chabrouh project, the newly appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Lebanon, H.E. Msgr. Joseph Spitery, celebrated a beautiful mass in the centers courtyard.
Beloved guests with disabilities, joint Lebanese, Swiss and German volunteers, Chaplains and members of the Lebanese association gathered to pray under the spiritual guidance of H.E. Msgr. Joseph Spitery accompanied by Msgr. Yvan Santus, Fr. Raymond Bou Assi, Director of the Center, Fr. Joseph Nassar, Director of Hotel Dieu Hospital and Fr. Khalil Rahme leading the enchanting choir composed of young Caravan volunteers.
Spiteris homily stated that opening ourselves to others can free us from our weaknesses. He insisted that we grow while attending to each others needs and that the Lords love is not translated through words, sentiments or the will to help, but the actions done to support each other. He added that serving others is done through the partnership, support and care offered, and this is exactly what is witnessed here in Chabrouh through the actions of those young volunteers.
Finally, he concluded with: We need to dream of a better world and find the courage to bring those dreams to life.
Reaching its 20 years anniversary, Chabrouh center certainly became the house that teaches us the true meaning of love. It continues its growth path as it supports and cares for over 600 disabled guests on yearly basis.
