World Poetry Day
Gaby Daaboul’s poems take me back to my childhood. They do not cast me back to an irretrievable past, but rather stir up in me a childhood that never leaves us! In my youth, two people made poetry my daily companion, a neighbor of ours and my mother. I remember them prayerfully, especially on this ...
Read moreWilderness in the City
Before the onset of Great Lent, I went out with two friends to visit Metropolitan George Khodr. I am saying "went out”. This is a verb I unsheathed from the parlance of the Monks who used to go out from their cells, at the beginning of Lent, seeking an elder from whom to solicit a ...
Read moreThe Great Lent
Fasting, for those who practice it with conscious conviction, is a public acknowledgment that the world is transient. We all know that this great fast is our path to Pascha, a journey to the feast, as Father Alexander Schmemann, of blessed memory, used to call it.

Read moreIn Front of a Lover
A friend of mine told me about what happened to him at the entrance of a hospital in Beirut. He wanted to visit a relative of his. The story is for reforming. He said he stood in front of the "information clerk" seeking to inquire in which room his relative was staying. The clerk was ...
Read moreThe Chanter
I am not a chanter. However, I have associated with numerous chanters from whom I have learned valuable lessons for the ministry, for every ministry. I claim for a fact that I recognize the true chanter. What I am saying now is about good experiences. In the church, we have an eloquent example of integration ...
Read moreAnd the Breaking of Fast is More Potent for Them
Last Wednesday, Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over the Gaza Strip, citing the imminent Ramadan fast and calling in them for "tolerance and mercy". The inhabitants of the Strip received this repugnant trickery with indignation. They considered it a sacrilege to have Israel dispatch to them, with its deadly fires, leaflets containing phrases such as: “Feed ...
