The Gift of Years

5/3/2022

A 118-year-old nun in southern France has become the world's oldest living person. Before becoming a Catholic nun, she looked after children during World War II and then spent 28 years caring for orphans and elderly people. She’s also the world's oldest Covid-19 survivor. She tested positive for the virus in 2021, but recovered fully within three weeks, just in time for her 117th birthday.
“It's what's inside of us – not what's outside of us – that counts. It's what we learned along the way, what we meant to other people, what we became inside; that is really who we are.” – Joan Chittister, The Gift of Years
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for the gift of years, for the relationships, the adventures, for the time to give, to stretch and grow, and to rest. Life is good! Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
