This is the word of the risen Jesus to "Mary Magdalene and the other Mary". His complete word to them is: “go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me” (Matthew 28:10). Two things strike me in this word. The first is the fragrance of the first love that ...

The God of the Moment
Do not separate yourself from God at any moment. When you come across things that worry you, tire you, make you sad, or make you happy, summon Him immediately. Turn the chance encounter into an event. Let Him allow you to discover that He is with you. Transform the moment you are in into a ...
Read moreA Question for the Gentlemen
If a car passed in front of me with music blasting from its radio, I used to feel short of breath; I get angry; shivering in place. No one has the right to believe that the world belongs to him alone, or to be a cause of nuisance to others. That was my opinion. Today, ...
Read moreGod the Comforter
He sat next to me. I was condoling with a friend on the death of his mother. One of the deceased's relatives led him to the empty seat next to me. He occupied it, and occupied me! Straight away, he prompted me to talk about what the Church is doing today in order to fight ...
Read moreThe One Commitment
When the Saints talk about two dimensions of commitment, theological and moral, what they mean is only one dimension. There is no sound life that is not established on the knowledge of God. There is no true knowledge of God that is not translated into our lives on earth. Ethics is an explicit aspect of ...
Read moreThe Truck Platform
This is an old platform, preceding the novel electronic ones, on which we used to promote ideas some of which are wisdom and proverbs related to God and our belief in His action. “Your prayers, Mama”. “May God protect”… What prompted me to write these lines is a truck that passed today in front of ...
Read moreWhere is the Cassock?
I am asking about the cassock, whose story is well-known in our Church literature, where the “abbot” covers the nakedness of a brother who has fallen in a trespass. Where is it? Times will never run out of stories, of the falls that pass without being mentioned, as well as those which resonate loudly, the ...
Read moreTo Father Fadi Wakim
That the Angel of Tripoli and Al-Koura makes you a priest of God on the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman is an eloquent decision. In this Paschal period, we are in front of icons that were planted before us for our salvation. All the faces came out of nothing into being. From Thomas, who doubted ...
Read moreAdvice
You will not be a complete human being without the people you love as well as those who annoy or irritate you… do you have room for advice? Lighten up on reminding yourself of faults that you have seen in those you do not like. Do not rush into quarrelling. Train yourself up on finding ...
Read moreBrother, Pray for Me!
People are more and more moving away, nowadays, from what is essential in the life of communion, that is, from asking for support in prayer. This is heedlessness coupled with excessive self-reliance, that is, keeping away from seeking God’s help, as well as forsaking the parlance of the Saints (1 Thessalonians 5:25). Today, who would ...
