"All Christians are persecuted — not only Catholics — especially in the Middle East. They are the same to Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and for us now it is an opportunity to be united as Christians in our lands. The most important thing for us is forgiveness. This is our spirituality: to forgive. To be a Christian, especially now: For us, it means forgiveness and reconciliation."

"People turn to the Church for help, but we are not the state. As the Church we try to be the voice of truth for the people, we try to say what no one is saying."

"Lebanon is today a shadow of itself, divided between conflicting geopolitical alliances, pushed towards the abyss by an incompetent and corrupt political class."
