A priest friend of mine told me that he had received a letter from "Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Lebanon", the author of which invited him to get in touch with them in order to "explore ways we can work together to promote the message of the Gospel in Lebanon". For those who do not know, ...

Serving Beauty
Joe Kareh, the beloved journalist, in footage he published about one of the snowy landscapes in the mountains of Lebanon, led the camera accompanying him so that we can join him in seeing the massacre of rubbish left behind by people who had visited the place over the weekend. He said firmly: "Honestly, with people ...

I have a friend whose news are interesting. She does not like Lebanon. No, rather, she says that she does not love Lebanon. A few days ago, she had to travel abroad for about a week. On the eve of her travel, she told me: “At a time when no one can know the fate ...
Read moreThe Village
Here, I learned that the word "Canada", in the Iroquoian language (the ethnic language of Quebec), is derived from the word "kanata", which means village. No word in the world seduces me like this word: village. This is not an objection on my part to the fact that I was born in a city and ...

The question, which I have heard here many times, is: “how do you see life here?” Life is beautiful. There is no way to compare this city from the distant world to any other city I have ever known in my life. Yesterday, I told some of my friends: “if we decide in Lebanon, to ...

There were a few young volunteers in the “Red Cross” standing in the middle of the road, and one of them, in bashful retreat, was carrying a box, hoping that those who are passing-by in their cars would freely place in it something of ...

I read with interest your article in which you told us about “the little girl” who had missed you in the old souk of Batroun, in the place where you used to display, at a nominal price, books for both the poor and the rich. A friend of mine read it on the Bazar Du ...

Welcome to our home, Naï. Welcome, O pretty one who has followed her two siblings in getting born. Life did not allow us to rejoice in welcoming you in the faraway country. I am welcoming you from afar. I am writing these lines for you. I hope, when you read them, that you will say ...
Read moreIndependence Day
This is Lebanon’s feast day. I will leave the analysis of history. Today, what I hope for is that the Lebanese become independent in their hearts from every sick passion rooted in us. Does it benefit us to seek achievements to extol if we insist on rivalry in our common home? Hatred achieves no good. ...
