The passing of Father Antoine Melki, the parish priest of Aafsadiq in the Diocese of Tripoli and Koura, has deeply saddened me. He left us suddenly, without a by-your-leave or a word of farewell. Death is treacherous in many ways, leaving behind only separations and losses. Indeed, Father Antoine's departure was a significant loss not ...

Word of God
A Teaching Expanse
This page has taught me that there are diverse readers, all of whom must be accepted. Readers who make you feel that they are participating with you in the causes of the Word you are serving require no effort to accept, but rather constant gratitude. Other readers, who stubbornly oppose everything or do not read ...
Read moreNadia Nasrallah
Nadia Nasrallah thrives on the love of the Word. You see her, in all her appearances, extending kind words here, and expressing admiration there with flowers that seem as if she plucked them from the courtyard of her fraternal home in the Keserwan district (Mount Lebanon), or prayers she brought from her Church as tokens ...
Read moreThe Command of the Word
Those who abide by the Word need no one to tell them that its full acceptance implies that we always remain steadfast in two things: in seeking mercy and in patiently enduring those whom we see transgressing it. Those who are captivated by the Word and its righteousness do not get swept away by self-esteem ...

Read moreThe Nature of Israel
I am trying to understand the nature of this usurping entity that does not respect anything good in this existence, neither an eye that sees, nor an elderly person or a child…, that seeks to annihilate everyone who disagrees with it, everyone who has another word to say. It claims that its most precious inheritance ...
Read moreThe Teaching of the Word
Is condemning the attack on Gaza a deviation from the teaching of the Word? That is, in one word: is neglecting the causes of the oppressed on earth, namely those whose necks are under the knife of an insane butcher, a new Nero, Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin…, consistent with “the Incarnate Word”? I was ...
Read moreThe Strongest Voice
No voice is stronger than the voice of a deed. Everything that has value in life is deed. The Word is deed.
Read moreKnowing the Word
One of the brethren asked: “how does one become a better person, a real disciple of God, without being guided by the elders in the Church to the path to the new life?”. He was asking about the role of the priests in conveying the mind of the Lord, particularly about preaching. It slips most ...
