The Patriarchal Agent of the Holy See in Rome, Monsignor Youhanna Rafiq, presided over a Mass on the occasion of Christmas, with the help of the parents of the Antonine Institute of Rome.
After the Holy Gospel, the workshops spoke in their sermon on the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis to Lebanon at the earliest, “because his holiness, as his message says, is disturbed by what Lebanon is suffering.” He said: “The Pope expressed his love for the Lebanese people and issued a new appeal to the international community to help them stay away from regional conflicts and tensions and recover.”
On the occasion, the National Media Agency heard some of the opinions of those attending the mass about the Pope’s visit to Lebanon. Maria, an Italian girl of Lebanese origin, could not contain her tears of joy and said: “I was very sad, and I did not see a ray of hope. The message of His Holiness the Pope pleased me. It is light in the tunnel of darkness. “
Charbel Eid said: “As our Master Archbishop Al Warsha said, it is a different message that must be carefully considered due to its importance, and most importantly, Lebanon’s officials listen to it and realize that if we help No one will help us themselves, it is a message of good and peace.
As for the person responsible for the Maronite deployment in Rome, Dr. Victor Trad, he said: “It is an expressive message, especially since the Pope highlighted it in Lebanon on Christmas Day. All of this proves his closeness to Lebanon and his deep concern for everything that is exposed to him, and highlighted in his message of neutrality. Lebanon, the neutrality that Patriarch Al-Rai asks for so that Lebanon is far from the problems of the region and a link with all monotheistic religions.
