Call of the month of January 2003
Darbessama       Foundation of Father Simon El-Zind
 
Dear friends
During this month of January, the first month of the year, we are all called to serve humanity, in providing our help and our testimony.
The earth of men is suffering.
we cannot remain indifferent,
thus the necessity and the extreme urgency of a renewal in the moulding of mentalities.
The real remedy is to instill within our families feelings of peace.
We all have to change our hearts and to open our eyes on the world.
It is within the family that starts the way to the Other,
Jesus who comes to us in the others.
The family is the place where the first smile is drawn.
The family is the place where we pronounce and hear the first word.
This word that will become, with the help of others, a language.
A language that can change the world:
A language that can destroy as well as warm and render happy.
A language of hatred that will lead to a certain war
and a language of love that contributes in depth to the work of God.
While speaking, Christ performed His mission.
He is the living Word of the Lord.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Let’s take the time to listen to each others.
Lets’ take the time to pray within our families.
Let’s take the time to grow together in a climate of peace, respect, joy and love...
The call of the month invites us to :

Celebrate the Eucharist within our families in the intention of peace in the world.
Do and live a gesture of peace: Who among us can, in one single hour, refrain from saying or thinking bad of someone else?...The damages we cause are often irreparable. To praise is a creating act, an act of peace.

Let us give way to the Word of God to be engraved in our souls and in our hearts.
Let it be the foundation and the guide of our family and social behaviour.
