Christ 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. Both men were two of our brethren who were well-pleasing in love and service, loving the Word and serving its people. Rony was a beacon in the wondrous generosity and the diligent work in the service of praise, the beautifully organized work that does not seek glory for itself, but the glory of God alone, and Nabil in love and obedience to the Word, in patience with every pain, in opening hands to receive the comfort of heaven here and now, and in love for the Church as a beautiful virgin, always. Christ, through His resurrection, has given us to see in Him that death is no longer able to separate those who love Him. We, on earth as well as in heaven, live from one power, the power of Christ in those who have opened their hearts for Him to dwell in them. Our meeting in Him is forever. Be at peace. Truly He is risen!
