Every Tuesday night we go with Abuna Louis and the Rosary Sisters to visit one of the families in the parish - this usually means thirty to forty people, since families are large extended units in Zababdeh. This year we are visiting the newlyweds to bless their new homes. The home meetings are held together by liturgy, song, prayer, and Bible study. Although we cannot understand much of what is being said, we are asked to say a few words at each gathering which relate the passage to the couple's new life together.

Walking at night following some visits.

And on our way home, the moon might bless us with its presence...
