Venite, exultemus Domino

Starting to meet youth groups

In the last week, we started meeting a lot of youth groups next to our activities at the Fratelli Association. We are very thankful that we have the opportunity to encounter so many interesting and interested young people all over Lebanon. Soon, we will tell you more about these meetings.

Thanks to these five angels from the students' pastoral visiting us last week, and their commitment, we are able to visit a lot of youth groups all over the country.

Where we are

But today, we would like to share a map that we have created for you, so that you can easily discover where the places are that we have all our activities in.
You will find the map here. It will always be accessible in the left sidebar of our blog. Don't hesitate to try the interactive version that you find on an external site - you will find a lot more information there.
More places and activities will come up in the next days, so the map will become fuller little by little.
So come with us on our journey, and enjoy!

Common life  At the end of our experience in Lebanon, before we will share some of our very special last experiences with you, and before we will try to summarise what we lived for you, we do not want to end this blog without showing you some of the basics of our daily life here in Lebanon. So far, we have explained you a lot about our daily meetings, our travels, and our work. But of course, also our daily life here, together as a group of three, was a very important aspect of our experience during this month. Strangers? Don't know such a thing. Before we met each other on the airport of Istanbul on the way to Beirut, we did not all know each other personally. But we did not need long time to get along with each other. Instead, we have the impression that from the first moment on, we were friends. There was never a doubt about that: We are friends. Of course, each of us had easier and more difficult days in Lebanon, and of course we also lived moments of tiredness, someti

Welcoming and being welcomed  A bit more than a week ago, we had a very special Friday. In the morning, we had the honour and joy to be welcomed by Bishop Elie Haddad, BS, in his office in Saida, and to get to know a lot about the church in Lebanon through him. And, in turn, in the evening, we welcomed all the teachers, volunteers, and brothers committed with the summer colonies at the Fratelli Association to our home in Maghdouche to have a prayer with songs from Taizé and an evening meal together. "The Holy Spirit resides in Taizé" We are very thankful for having had the great opportunity to meet Bishop Elie Haddad, BS, the bishop of the Greek-Catholic diocese of Saida. Because it is also thanks to his hospitality and his support that our provisional community in Lebanon is actually possible, we were very happy having the occasion to express our gratitude to him. During our meeting, several topics emerged: Bishop Elie explained us a lot about the situation of th

Launching our activities... The last days, we have spent a lot of time preparing and planning: On the one hand, as you will read below, the refugee children we will help to take care of will arrive tomorrow morning. On the other hand, we are searching for opportunities to get to know young people and their spirituality, and - maybe - to pray with them. Fratelli  So far, we have spent our mornings at the Fratelli's Association preparing the program as well as the school building for the arrival of 450 refugee children. These children come from Syria, Jordan or Iraq and live in an around Rhmeileh now. Often, they have survived horrifying traumatic events. But - maybe even worse - in many cases, it is very difficult for them to regain strength or to overcome those experiences well because those who could help them cope - family members or caretakers - themselves are strongly traumathised or have died. This is why the brothers and team members of the Fratelli Association consider
