To Father Fadi Wakim

That the Angel of Tripoli and Al-Koura makes you a priest of God on the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman is an eloquent decision. In this Paschal period, we are in front of icons that were planted before us for our salvation. All the faces came out of nothing into being. From Thomas, who doubted and then repented...to the Samaritan woman and the blind man, these are faces that tell us the story of God with us. They tell about this Living God Who always chooses that which does not exist, to serve His Glory. How was this Samaritan woman able to bring all of her family to Jesus? This is our work. Nevertheless, how was she able to do that? There is no answer other than that, in the mystery of grace, she realized that she is nothing. Christ is at work in those in whom this grace endures. All the fruit of God is in this God Who invades the world through those who do nothing other than bring Him to people. Arise to the brethren keeping in mind this remembrance that you are nothing, that you are a mere bearer of a God Who wants to dwell in us. Let them reach this eloquence that it is not because of you that they believe, but because of Him. Axios! (Worthy!)
