"Lebanon has been around for six thousand years. In its long history it has gone through difficult times like those of today, but it always overcame all feelings of hatred and terrible persecutions. Sometimes it is necessary to travel down the way of the cross. The peace of the Resurrection of Jesus came through the passion and death on the Cross. Pray to God and to his Mother Mary for Lebanon and for us, so that so many innocents will no longer suffer. We place everything in the hands of Jesus and Mary and we are sure that like the phoenix, Lebanon will rise gloriously from the ashes."
