AGING IN JM AND ACCOMPANYING THE SICK IN THE INFIRMARY

Ann Robichaud, RJM and Lorraine Maheu, RJM, Province of Canada

As a nun of Jesus and Mary, how can one not be moved by the question: how would Claudine like to see her daughters grow old? Of course, the economic, political and religious context is no longer the same as at the time of the Foundation. However, the fact remains that in our highly industrialized societies, courage is more than necessary to age well because our living environments are gearing up to put the elderly into disappointment and continue to advocate euthanasia and assisted suicide.

As a responsible woman, Claudine would certainly not like to see her nuns move slowly to the chair and then the bed because they do nothing to prevent the evils of aging and worse, because they are victims of some indifference existing in their surroundings.
