This was my case while reading \u201cthe book of biography\u201d of the thrice-blessed memory Father Elias Morcos, which was excellently written by Archimandrite Touma Bitar. Today, I hold my pen for three things: to thank, to call, and to encourage. I would, first of all, like to thank Father Touma for his labor in putting together this book; then, to call those who are interested in reading the committed books, to strive to get hold of it. As for the \u201cregeneration youths\u201d of Antioch, I encourage them, in particular, to find a way, today, to get together on it, to study and discuss it.

Indeed, thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeffReading is a commitment. You benefit from it here, and you fail there.
