Lebanon today »regarding the formation of the government .. a message from the shepherd

The Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Al -Ra’i presided over the Mass of the Day of Christ to enter the temple in the Church of the Lady in the Patriarchal edifice in Bakri.

After the Holy Gospel and the rank of booming candles, the patriarch, the shepherd, gave a sermon entitled: Nour is evident to the people, and he considered that selfishness and special accounts disrupt the coexistence of the bright and clear coexistence that distinguishes the political system in Lebanon, and added: This coexistence is organized in the constitution and the renewed national charter in the National Accord Document issued by the Taif Agreement in 1989, that is, thirty -six years ago. Because this document was not applied at the time with its full text and spirit, political life began to stumble and retreat, and it is still to this day, so there is no respect for the constitution, but a violation after the violation, and no respect for the charter of coexistence and the document of national reconciliation, so it deflected chaos in government and government.

He added: How can we face our national needs while seeking a narrow demand for abhorrent shares that have nothing to do with the charter and the constitution, but rather their opposite. Let those involved in disrupting the government formation of what came in the department’s speech are considered: It is a crisis of judgment and rulers and not applying the regulations or poor application, interpretation and formulation. We are in the crisis of a ruling in which it is assumed to change the political performance in our vision to preserve our security and limits, and in our economic policies, and in our planning to sponsor our social affairs, in the concept of democracy and in the rule of the majority and the rights of minorities, in the form of Lebanon abroad and our relations with alienation, in the philosophy of accounting and oversight and in the centrality of the state and development Unbalanced, in fighting unemployment and in combating poverty.

The shepherd concluded: Let us support, dear brothers and sisters, so that God leads us to the light of Christ, so we live in the light of truth and love, and we raise praise and thanks to the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, Amen.
