Oh God, I am writing to you about the great injustice in Lebanon. I am writing about the fear of disease, and even of the absence of medicines, which makes life as if it were an open tomb, and even of death by starvation and loneliness… In Lebanon, we do not know when bread will ...
Read moreWaiting for a Miracle!
Every time I see him, I invite him to Church. His excuses are always ready. I know that his absence from the congregational prayer is a standpoint. His parents passed away early. This is really a disaster!! Among his siblings, he alone has put the prayer of his Church behind his back. His older brother, ...
Read moreA New Spectacle
I am always struck by the Apostle’s word about himself and his peers that they “have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men” (1 Corinthians 4:9). Did I mention this to you before? Perhaps. In this verse, I am fascinated by the boldness of Paul in acknowledging the witnessing ...

Yesterday, my eyes fell on this photo. This is my grandson who has left Lebanon after the explosion of Beirut in 2020. It is not only the longing for him that prompted me to write these lines, but also my great love for his constant insistence on appearing joyful. His face has often drawn me ...

When I write you a text in the form of a question and an answer, I generally refer to one of the older brethren I have come to know during the course of my commitment. The communion of life in the Church convinced me that the knowledge of God is preserved by being passed on ...
Read moreThe Faculty of the Book
Since its launch, the management of the page has arranged for me to be one of its administrators. This has given me, if I wanted, to follow the movement of those who are taking an interest in it. I noticed that, from time to time, there are friends who stroll over this page, leaving behind ...
Read moreToday
To believe that God is looking after us for what is good for us on this day, that is, as long as we have a day, this is the secret of the eloquence of history that was renewed by Jesus Who is existent in the ongoing present. I do not agree with those who use ...
Read moreThe Simplicity of Love
When one of my grandchildren visits us, he imposes his program on us. This is what we had experienced before. God gave us three children, two of whom, out of God's generosity, got married, and got children. Caring for a child differs from caring for a grandchild. The grandchild is more capable of overturning most ...
