HDF-USJ Hospital Network Spiritual Day

In preparation for theEaster, the spiritual animators team of HDF-USJ hospital network organized a spiritual day entitled "He's not here..." (Mt.28/6) at the Monastery of Sisters of the Holy Family in Aabrine on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

The day began with a morning prayer, guided by Father Alain Elias, followed by a session led by Brother Joseph Ashraf s.j.

During this session, Brother Joseph Ashraf s.j.  shared teachings, exploring the many facets of life, perceived as a series of challenges and pitfalls, while offering advice on how to face them with courage.

This interactive exchange enabled participants to share ideas and opinions in working groups dedicated to discussing the subject. In addition, Brother Joseph Ashraf s.j. emphasized that "constant presence" is the most beautiful impulse of love, highlighting Jesus' resurrection as a sign of His permanent presence among us.

The participants then celebrated a mass, presided by Father Felix Chwah, in the presence of the hospital network priests. Among the ideas discussed, miracles are revealed as solid foundations of faith, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a powerful demonstration of divine power and victory over death.

The participants then visited the museum and tomb of Patriarch Elias Hoyek, before continuing their journey to the Monastery of St. Joseph in Jrabta.
