The Maronite Patriarch, Bechara al-Rai, stated on Friday that “we have gone through more difficult circumstances than those we are experiencing today, but Lebanon remained and will not fall.” He considered that the Lebanese and the nation are at a crossroads.
“Our Lebanon is ours; there is no compromise on its identity or its existence,” he assured during the graduation ceremony at Notre Dame University-Louaize.
The Maronite Patriarch indicated that the general national deterioration poses a significant threat to the future of our youth. However, the higher education sector has the capacity to play a role in defense with strong will, determination, and confidence.
