Beirut Greek Orthodox Archbishop Elias Audi affirmed in his Sunday homily that Lebanon will eventually “rise again, despite all the doubts.”
“Just as (the apostle) Thomas doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there are many who doubt Lebanon's ability to rise again,” he said, adding, “The forces of evil, corruption, and perdition will not have their way with him, even if they appear to be the strongest.”
According to the Archbishop, despite the darkness of the night, the sun will eventually rise over Lebanon “as long as there are honest men and women working to save it from the corruption and evil spread in the hearts of some.” Those “who have worked for many years to bleed it, to exploit its capacities, to plunder its wealth, to deprive it of its role, and to empty it of its young people by blocking the election of a president of the Republic and paralyzing the work of the institutions,” Audi said in a thinly veiled criticism of the axis of the Moumanaa.
