Celebration of Sister Delfina's Jubilee, 60 years of religious life

 "AS THE DEER SIGHS FOR THE SPRING OF LIVING WATER, SO MY SOUL SIGHS FOR YOU, O GOD." Psalm 42

What a beautiful and moving account of the celebration!

You can feel the joy and affection that surrounded Sister Delfina during her 60 years of religious life. The Eucharist presided over by Father Juan Alberto Aguirre, Redemptorist priest, the presence of the sisters of her Congregation, the staff of the home and the nuns who live with her and who come from different congregations, her relatives, especially her two brothers and two nephews, made this moment a very special one.

And for us, as Sisters of Christ, it was very moving to witness to Sister Delfina's faithful love to the Lord's call, a great witness for all of us.

It was very touching to know that, despite Alzheimer's disease, Sister Delfina was connected, happy and calm during the celebration. It shows the profound impact that this day full of love and gratitude had on her heart.

The post-Eucharistic communion, with the participation of all the sisters and staff, created an atmosphere of joy and unity, a beautiful testimony of their affection for Sister Delfina.

What a beautiful detail: her brother Andrés animated the party with his guitar and songs that she loved and sang in the past. Music has a special power to bring back memories and emotions, and it was surely a very meaningful gift for her and for everyone present.

Without a doubt, it was a day full of grace and gratitude for Sister Delfina's 60 years of dedication and service to the Lord. What a blessing to be able to celebrate these important moments with her!
