Within the Orthodox Youth Movement (MJO), there is a tradition that the first term of the Secretary-General, which extends for two years, allows him to perceive things, from his new position, with new accuracy. His re-election for a second term, if nominated, is for increasingly anticipated fruitful outcomes. This tradition does not overshadow the acknowledgment ...

The Priest of crises!
When crises become severe, I do not think that there is a priest in our time who is remembered by people, like Father George Massouh. George left us after having left, in many of his acquaintances, (the impression) that he had taken with him the whip with which he used to lash the dove sellers, ...
Read moreA Man of Obedience
Today, Metropolitan Saba Esper took off for America. He carried with him our love and prayers, and followed the decision of the Antiochian Synod to serve his new Archdiocese. His departure from us is anguish that can only be healed by our knowledge that all the faithful in the expanse of his new ministry, old ...
Read moreTo the Rulers in Lebanon
In ancient culture, the ruler is a reference to be returned to, during the struggles of life, for the wisdom he enjoys… I am returning to you today. I have a question that baffles me. I can deem that it is the question of the millions who are crying out, in silence or in public, ...

The first relates to the request that you be mentioned publicly, in some Church services, whether you attend or send a representative on your behalf. The fault in ...
Read moreThe Art of Administration
He has never left out an occasion without inviting me to visit him at the school he administers. I would not be exaggerating if I told you that, if we meet accidentally on the road, instead of the day’s greeting, he says: “when will you be visiting me?”. Today before noon, I visited him. We ...
Read moreWhere is Your Heart?
Many have written about the injustice of the shortage of medicines in Lebanon. For a sick person to writhe with his being deprived of his medication in any part of the earth, this is not news of a civilized world. There is no place for civilization in Lebanon! A few days ago, a media outlet ...
Read moreSalute to the Metropolitan of Hauran
I have a friend who supplies me, from day to day, with what is written by some Antiochian writers, both clerics and laity. The Word, from the generosity of grace, brings distances closer, of whatever form they are. Is there anything that enjoins the bishop to write? Writing is not for everyone. However, it is ...
Read moreFaith Leadership
If faith in God does not lead me to fructify my faith through the love of all others, without distinguishing between face and face, near or far..., I publicly declare that I am one of the leaders of the contemporary Pharisees.
