REALITY AND HOPE
“MONKS OF THE BROTHERS OF THE CROSS”
AND
“NUNS OF THE SISTERS OF JESUS CRUCIFIED”
FROM THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
After Bishop Becharra El Raai signed the official document on September
26, 2006, for affecting the real estate No. 1417 – Edde – Jbeil
to the Brothers of the Cross and the Sisters of Jesus Crucified,
which Saint Simon El Aamoudi Religious Estates (Machhalan) handed
over. Both Orders started the building project under Father Hanna
Khadra with the help of benefactors, relying on God’s care and the
intercession of our Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of
all Graces.
Anything to be built on the said real estate shall be used by the
Order of the Sisters of Jesus Crucified.
1- A large church named after the Father of All
People.
2- The first convent for nuns, named Blessed Virgin
Mary clothed with the sun and Bride of the Holy Spirit.
3- A wing for guests.
4- A center called Holy Child Jesus of Prague,
served by nuns within their apostolic life, to educate and bring
up children on ethical and Christian principles, to live with the
support of Church’s sacraments and to focus on the importance of
family life, on obeying and respecting parents and clergy and civil
laws. The center will hold an estimated one hundred children, and
render these services on a free basis
5- A tower for a cross, on the bottom of which
there is a shrine called Jesus Crucified.
After the monks have finished work on the property intended for
the nuns, they shall attempt to build a monastery for themselves
called The Divine Word, along with a free center for spiritual exercises
called The Holy Spirit, and a church called Mary Our Lady of Guadalupe
and Bride of the Holy Spirit. All this shall be built on the land
which, thanks to God, the Divine Providence shall later bestow on
them.
On the third Sunday of each month, a general meeting shall be held
for all souls called to devote themselves to God, and for those
with religious vocations asking to join either Order, with the coordination
of the General Advisor Father Hanna Khadra and under the care of
His Lordship Bishop Becharra El Raai, at the provisional center
for the nuns at Saint Simon El Aamoudy – Machhalan, 5 kms far from
Jbeil.
