Beirut (Agenzia Fides) – Faced with the “national disaster” affecting Lebanon, Maronite Patriarch Boutros Bechara Rai appeals to the UN Security Council to “intervene effectively” to force the parties in conflict to “stop the war and begin negotiations”. The appeal, broadcast through the official communication networks of the Maronite Patriarchate, calls for unity of “the entire Lebanese family” and expresses gratitude for all those who open their homes and schools to the displaced and work in hospitals to help the wounded. The Lebanese cardinal also calls on the Lebanese Parliament to urgently elect a new President of the Republic and put an end to the political-institutional crisis that has lasted for years. And let us pray to God “concludes the Patriarch in his brief appeal” so that He may inspire everyone on the path to achieving a just and inclusive peace”. (GV) (Agenzia Fides 25/9/2024) Share:
