The above pictures were sent to me recently by Nancy Morcos, one of our "young" adults in spirit who has a great heart and an abundant faith.
The occasion of these pictures is here:
On Friday, January 26, 2007, Jesus the King Youth Club (I actually prefer to call them the Young Adult Group) invited the youths of Our Lady of Lebanon for a lecture I delivered about love! Some 40 people attended. Can you count them in the right picture above?!
The surprise was the "Award" I was given by the young ones. The award consisted of a beautiful Bible covered by a rich wooden case. The picture of the award which Tarek Marrouchi, a true leader of JKYC gave me in the name of the youths, is shown above on the left. As Nancy Morcos commented, a cross appears to reflect on it!
What matters is not the picture of the award nor the picture of the youths. What matters indeed is their persons around the Bible, the Word of God. I told them then, and I still tell them today: You are the future of our Church. And, whether they are in the picture or not, they remain in my heart.
