“When I first entered the refectory, as I watched the nun feeding an elderly person, I saw beauty. Attention to the person who had just arrived... an attention that is present in every moment. There was no indifference, but neither was there condescension, nothing “mushy”. It was beauty that I sensed. They make beauty a part of everything they do: in a decoration, when they prepare Mass, lunch”.
“The elderly have already suffered so much in life”, explains the Tokan home manager. “They have worked so much, and now they are tired. And we are here to show them that it is possible to give freely and out of love. With us, they experience a certain well-being. They are comfortable, they are at peace. The proof is that they have been here for 10 to 15 years. Their life gets longer when they come to us,” says Sr Filomena.
The house of the Little Sisters receives many visits from benefactors and friends, but rarely from family of the guests. Among all the admission requests that arrive, the elderly at Tokan are admitted from the poorest and most isolated. In fact, some of them have literally been abandoned by their own family.
