Divine Providence had enabled the acquisition of a former convent of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice, in the middle of a par this of a property of 8 hectares. A RETIREMENT HOME ACCORDING TO TRADITION: A NECESSITY? Who has not had the experience of having to separate, very reluctantly, from their relatives (friends) because of serious disabilities, to entrust them to an establishment? How distressing to note that in most of these establishments, the material realities of everyday life or the dizziness of worldly leisure activities contribute to the death in souls of the certainties of faith and the aspiration to eternal joys! Not to mention the confusion of minds about the "end of life" journey. On this subject, do not hesitate to consult the excellent review of Cahiers Saint Raphaël. A RETIREMENT HOME ACCORDING TO TRADITION: A <<DYING>>? Statistics tell us that the average age for entering an Institution is around 85 years. It turns out that at this age many people can, while maintaining vigorous health, choose a nursing home, either because of mourning for a spouse or to avoid the burden of loneliness. Many of our residents have reached 100 years of age, and today they are not the least able-bodied. The qualities that motivate patients and caregivers within our walls are respect for the elderly and their dignity as children of God, infinitely loving. A RETIREMENT HOME ACCORDING TO TRADITION: AN ART DE VIVIRE? This is one of the best interests of our establishment: "Tradidi quodaccepti", such was the epitaph chosen by our Founder; "I transmitted what I received", according to the affirmation of the great Saint Paul. "Stat crux dum volvitur orbis", say the Carthusians, "While the world continues its course, the cross remains standing. >>. Beyond the puzzle that can constitute the twists and turns of the administration, the "norms" and the myth of permanent evolution, we simply strive to put into practice the Christian way of life, according to the Gospel, as he fulfilled the aspirations of the Faithful during the 20 centuries of catholicity. << Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all the rest will be given to you in addition. >> A RETIREMENT HOME ACCORDING TO TRADITION: AN ANTI-ROOM OF THE SKY? "The Mass is Heaven on earth", our dear Founder told us. The greatest number of our residents have consented, for 40 years, to the heaviest sacrifices to receive the graces of the Holy Mass (never prohibited?, But nevertheless well fought!). Quite naturally, they renounce the joys of a family presence or an endearing living environment, favoring, for their end of life, the graces of daily Mass and of sanctification through liturgical life (as in our priories and parishes). For this purpose, our Superiors have provided for the presence of a chaplain, assisted by five religious, joined by leaders animated by dynamism and dedication supported by strong religious convictions. OUR JOY: that of participating in all apostolate works of our FSSPX, according to the spirit of Dom Chautard ("The soul of any apostolate"). OUR REQUEST: that you support us with your prayers for your eventual generosity. In this difficult fight for life, we would like to build up around our house (between Dreux, Evreux and Verneuil) a support network comprising volunteer visitors and professionals from the medical world.
