Today, our Church in Latakia saw off the great sister Victoria Jabbour to eternal victory. In a few words, Victoria is one of the faces of the Orthodox Youth Movement (MJO) in the bride of the Syrian coast, and a mother in Christ to many in it and in our entire Antiochian expanse. She is ...

Who Will Give Us?
Yesterday I was standing with a friend of mine in front of a school in Beirut. We saw a hand extend from one of the school windows and throw out an empty bag of some kind of food. I cannot tell if the hand was that of a child or a boy, male or female. ...
Read moreDisciples of the Word
I had spoken, repeatedly, about the fact that preaching is a gift which some of those who had a share in the ministry had no share in. Today, I will speak about the brethren who are busy complaining before the pulpit of the Word, about those who do not allow It to summon them to ...
Read moreLook for Saul
I woke up on Saturday morning repeating the expression: Look for “Saul” (Acts 9: 4). I know whom I am addressing. I am addressing brethren in the Orthodox Youth Movement (MJO) in Mount Lebanon who had invited me to participate in the evening opening of their annual conference. The opening program was faithful to our ...
Read moreTo Pray
As long as we eat and drink more than we pray, work more, teach more, and have more fun, as long as our prayers always come in the second, third, tenth or last degree, it is expected that we, ourselves, will increase! If we really know that what we want in our life is for ...

Read moreCommunion in Love
One of my committed friends told me that he had told a priest who is serving them with new fervor, about a regeneration work taking place in another Church. The story seemed out of place! He who was hearing it replied its conveyor: “it seems that you are unaware of the activity taking place in ...
Read moreThe Advice of the Saints
The world is an expanse of gossip, a place for slander, for belittling and backbiting others. Do you know what the scourge of the chatterbox is? His scourge lies not only in his spreading rumors about the things that he deems ugly, but also in his belief that this world cannot be restored. Insanity is ...
Read moreThe Fuller Communication
Today, in more than one context, there is reliance on this electronic expanse, of which it is said that it has transformed the world into “a small village”. This has made us gain a lot. However, it has caused us to lose a lot too. It has caused us to distance ourselves, more or less, ...
Read moreIndependence Day
This is Lebanon’s feast day. I will leave the analysis of history. Today, what I hope for is that the Lebanese become independent in their hearts from every sick passion rooted in us. Does it benefit us to seek achievements to extol if we insist on rivalry in our common home? Hatred achieves no good. ...
