Every time it is proven to me that someone is boasting about something he finds beautiful in himself, I say that: “this one is in need of someone to love him or (in need of) understanding that love is always free”. Nothing restores our senses like our belief that “love does not seek its own” ...

The Students of Love
I have a friend who works in the administration of a school in Lebanon. He told me, “our students, in their last year of high school, used to set up activities that would generate money for them to spend on their graduation party”. This year they broke their habit. They did carry out activities; however, ...
Read moreRenewed Commitment
I briefly return to the outbreak of the epidemic. It was hard, on more than one level. We did not know what the world knows about it today. If God grants us to live, it is our duty to review what we have done in the light of the Truth. For example, were we hasty ...
Read moreChrist is Risen!
This morning, we woke to the news of the departure of two angels from among us to heaven, Nabil Al-Dibs from Mina Tripoli, and Rony Saad from Qannabet Brummana.

Read moreShireen’s Story
I followed up some of what was said about the martyr Shireen Abu Akleh by writers, journalists and poets…, and I was enthralled by what the Lebanese singer Moeen Shreif sang for her. Let us agree! In evil, Israel is no stupid country. It knows that its most powerful enemy in the world is the ...
Read moreTen NOs
I have ten NOs gifted to me by a friend who had espoused living in peace. He said to me: 1. Do not hurt someone you love with a word you know will hurt him. 2. Do not give him a distorted image of himself. 3. Do not remind him of the good you have ...

After she became the mother of a baby girl, she discovered that she is beautiful, and she pursued her discovery! Am I polishing up sin? Nothing deserves to be considered a discovery like the words of the apostle: “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. ...
