Vocation To the Elderly

[Sister_Helena]

I’m creating a Poll of those interested of ministering to the elderly. When one thinks Pro-life, there is a temptation to think of babies and abortion. But euthanasia and physician-assisted suicides are on the rise, our elderly and infirmed are vulnerable.

The Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus take care of the elderly in Homes, not institutions, as Mother Mary Teresa of St. Joseph wanted.

I voted “no” because the last elderly people I cared for have died. We can go in and out of caring for an elderly person. It seems for some of us, it can be during certain phases of life where we care for the elderly, while others make it a full time ministry.

I have a calling to love and care for the elderly.
