Some time ago, I visited Metropolitan George Khodr at his home. I repeated before him the Lord’s words kept by John the Evangelist about the beloved disciple: “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?”. Among us, Metropolitan George seems to be, in more than one way, another image ...
Read moreA Question to the Facebook Administration
A few days ago, my friend, Laith Hanna, who delights us with his eloquent art in publishing this page, told me that the Facebook administration decided to limit the number of people it was allowing to reach, automatically or organically (i.e. for free), pages that they had liked. For example, if it previously allowed what ...

We met for about an hour and a half. I know his zeal for the life, witness and growth of the Church. We talked about many things that are all related to the Church today, to her servants, to her people and their brokenness which, in most cases, we content ourselves with seeing it and ...
Read moreThe Spirit is With Us
I have mentioned to you that, after Pentecost, the Church entrusts us to the care of the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit, we have no walk with God. What matters to me in these lines is for us to abide by the Words of Jesus that are read to us by the Church on these ...

Division does not reflect our country. Lebanon, especially its capital and its suburbs, used to include Lebanese from all over Lebanon, as well ...
Read moreThe Mind of God
When Jesus said to Peter: “you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men” (Matthew 16:23), He wanted him to abide by Him in what He is mindful of. How does Man think like God? This is a question whose answer requires that we return quickly to the context of ...

A few days ago, my son and his family arrived in Beirut from the faraway country which I heard him describe as “intemperate in its four seasons”. On this anticipated visit, I had the honor of getting acquainted, up close, to Naï, my new granddaughter, whom I had known (so far) through her pictures! When ...
Read moreRacism
There is a human dimension to life that is not overlooked by those who truly believe in God, regardless of their religion, denomination, gender or origin. Throughout history, wars and natural disasters have ruthlessly claimed many lives. However, the criminal that humankind has not known a match to is “racism”. This is a prolific criminal ...
