Above: Lourdes, France. Faith and Light was founded after 4,000 persons with disabilities with their family and friends attended a pilgrimage to Lourdes during Easter, 1971. For more about the history visit http://www.faithandlight.org/rubriques/haut/about-us/history |
Marie-Hélène shared this story to convey the message that
the people with disabilities who come to Faith and Light are nurtured
spiritually and that it helps them to grow in their relationship with God and
others. People with intellectual disabilities
have their own gifts to offer and they serve God and the community each in
their own unique way. People without
disabilities are encouraged to be members of this community as well so that they
can become friends with and learn from those with disabilities.

Occupational therapists help their clients grow in their daily life skills. Perhaps when we think about addressing spirituality in practice we can consider ways to help our clients grow spiritually. One way is to know about different opportunities that are offered to help facilitate this growth such as Faith and Light. When I was at the gathering, a lady who is involved in Faith and Light said that they are always looking for people to come and participate and to help with small things such as transportation. I am excited to get involved with a Faith and Light community after I graduate in order to learn, support others, and to be supported in my faith.
