إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi visited the South on Saturday, the first tour of south Lebanon by a Maronite patriarch in 275 years.
On his way to the city of Sidon, he made a stop in Rmeileh where residents welcomed him with claps, roses and banners carrying the patriarch’s photo and welcoming slogans.
“We pray for the unity of the church, the nation and the society,” al-Rahi said. “The church cannot exist if their sons remain apart.”
After Sidon, al-Rahi will head to Jezzine.
The last Patriarch to visit Sidon was Semaan Awwad who toured the city when he was elected in 1736.
On Friday, al-Rahi made a pastoral visit to the northern town of Besharri where he met with the town’s political leaders.

Give Glory to Jesus because it is all about Jesus King of Glory.
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews.
The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
And before God no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account . The Word of the Lord.
