Patriarch Al-Rahi calls on Lebanese officials to work towards a 'unified national goal'

Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi presided over Sunday Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa.

During his sermon, Al-Rahi called on political and civil officials "to strive for a unified national goal and to compete in means and ways to achieve this goal, based on a healthy democracy that forms Lebanon's system as a 'parliamentary democratic republic' (Preamble to the Constitution, Section C)."

He said, "Based on this democracy, you must compete for the sake of the people and the state."
