On Saturday, July 6, twin brothers George and Johnny Jallouf, friars of the Custody of the Holy Land, were ordained priests in their hometown of Aleppo, Syria.Filipino priest urged Church leaders to champion environmental protection with ‘activism and protest’
“We grew up in a family that instilled in us a living faith and a love for prayer,” the brothers told CNA. George and Johnny were deeply involved in the Franciscan parish of Aleppo as altar boys, catechists, and in various youth groups, so much so that “sometimes our parents would ask if we wanted to rent a room in the convent and stay there overnight.”
“Around the age of 18, I entered a total confusion. I started asking myself, ‘Who am I?’, ‘Why am I on this earth?’, and ‘What is God’s plan for my life?’” During the march, the group stopped for Mass at a home for the elderly where George noticed a woman with mental problems who was at times disturbing the Mass. Afterward, George made himself available to feed the elderly and happened upon the lady. She was the last person he wanted to be near, he recounted. Toward the end of the meal, she said, “No, Father, I don’t want any more.
His familiarity with prayer and personal relationship with the Lord gradually prepared his heart: “This desire to become a doctor grew during the war years: I saw people on the streets, the wounded, and thought that if I could alleviate some of their pain, I would have already done something good in my life.”
