We would like to share Paula Caeiro’s testimony with you. She has been part of Sa\u00fade da Idanha for 12 years and this past Easter she experienced a very special moment:<\/h2>\n

“Hello, I am Paula Caieira, a collaborator with the Sisters Hospitallers, and I have been coming to Sintra for about 12 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

I want to share with you a moment that touched me deeply this Easter. We welcomed the young people from Misi\u00f3n Pa\u00eds here and proposed a challenge to them:<\/em><\/p>\n

to accompany me in serenading a very special user who has been with us for 16 years.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A resident who does not communicate verbally, but for whom that moment meant a lot. They brought their guitars and we sang together with the resident.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was wonderful to see her smile and the way she showed herself to me and the young people. She even thanked the young people for the moment, and I am sure that going to the kitchen makes all the difference in their lives, as it does in mine. It was a unique and wonderful moment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you, Paula, for sharing your testimony of mercy.<\/p>\n
