Maronite Patriarch calls for unity and public good amid Lebanon’s crises

Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi said Lebanon today needs love more than ever.

“The love of the homeland in the hearts of citizens is what builds and embraces the nation, and unites its people to work for it and serve it,” he said.

Al-Rahi added: “Lebanon cannot be built through corruption, hatred or selfishness, but through love, transparency, ethics and honesty. Yet today we live in difficult circumstances, amid ongoing attacks and violations, and in a reality growing increasingly uncertain.”

He stressed that “nations are not preserved by weapons, nor protected by force, but by a people who know how to love, how to come together, and how to place the public good above narrow interests.”

He also said that “nations are safeguarded by a living conscience, protected by sincere hearts, and built by a love that allows people to see one another as partners rather than rivals, and as brothers rather than enemies.”
