Sermon

After the Holy Gospel, Hobeika gave a sermon in which he spoke about the stages of the life of the hermit, Maron and the history of the Maronites in building Lebanon, and said: St. Maroun, the first defender of justice and truth, and how much we are in Lebanon today, need to rebuild this country with a sense of justice and equality, especially with President Joseph Aoun, who is Amal Lebanon in these days is this country, which is an area in this East.

He added; The Maronites were born in diversity and became the fiercest defenders and struggled for freedom and created a wide area in this east and entered modernity and the importance of science and they were yeast in this East and established the Lebanese Republic with the saint of Lebanon, the Patriarch of the Hooik, which is the conscience of the nation, and outside diversity, Christianity does not live.

He added: We have made the Republic the space of meeting multiple cultures, and we do not fear from the other because it is a partner for us and created freedom, and Lebanon is the country where there is peaceful rotation on the rule and this is an essential thing in Lebanon, and this country is a trust in the neck of the Maronites.

generosity

After the mass, the Ambassador Karam and the members answered the head of the monastery, Father Tannous, a blessing for a lunch at the monastery table, and after the exchange of souvenirs, the Ambassador Karam delivered a speech in which he said: When we meet in Anaya, we live in the spectrum of Saint Charbel, and we include our blessings, and his blessing will come to us, seeing before our views the image of our father Saint Maron and his ancient church, which is located at a distance of thanks from the imprisonment from which this saint, who isolated from his world and cut off to prayer, came out to cross the continents with his miracles, and the darkness shines with the light of his love.

He added: Saint Charbel is one of the students of St. Maroun, inherited from him, he met, austerity, asceticism in the world, and the departure to what satisfies his soul and nourishes his spirituality, so he fasts, prayed and retired from the world, we succeed his Lord, and establishes an intimate relationship with the earth, watering it from his sweat, and deducting it with goodness that does not taste From its kindness, it is satisfied with the soil that he will. St. Maroun, the patron saint of the church that was named after his name, which has become an extensive entity in history and geography. The higher in which we are proud, and to which we seek the signs.

Exclusive; If Saint Maron was destroyed to rise from his grave, such as the Azazer, the shrouds will be shaken by it, and to see what the sect of which the divisions kill it, the disputes are torn, and the separation between its sons, and the rivalry, and the rivalry, returned to the grave from which it came out, and wrapped his body with the shrouds, closed his eyes, refusing to look To the reality of his sons under his weight. I am not pessimistic in nature, and I always saw in every pain as a face of hope, because I belong to the culture of hope, which is the basis in Christianity, but it must be indicated to this situation without holding anyone any responsibility. We are all responsible, and we have no choice but to return to the roots of the spirituality of St. Maroun, who asceticized everything, and was interested in the pleasure of his Lord and the victory of the message of Christ. We have to preach and inspire this approach in our national, family and social life to deserve to belong to this great saint.

He said: The Mass, which was chaired by the Public Prosecutor in the Lebanese Maronite Monastic Monastic Father Professor George Hobeika, with the participation of the Thousands of Monks, on the intention of the Maronite League and the affiliates to it, increases our certainty that the Maronite Church is still the rock on which the structure of Lebanon is based on the entity and the homeland and will not be strengthened by the evil of evil, and that The Lebanese Maronite Order- as all the monasticisms- are one of the sect’s fortresses and its pillars.

Karam concluded: On this holiday, we will bring the owner of the feast to reconcile the President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, in leading Lebanon and its people to the port of salvation after all the calamities and calamities. And if it provides it with all the reasons for wisdom and strength to face the strong waves and save the ship of the homeland from drowning. He is capable and able, and he is increasingly increasing if he plays his endeavor to wrap a wide Lebanese and a national consensus to support his firm decision in implementing the provisions of the department’s speech, which is the road map to get out of the tunnel. And the association will have a bond and a chain of transmission in order to achieve this goal on his feast.
