Patriarch's Homilies
Speech of HB Patriarch John X At the beginning of the Christian-Islamic Spiritual Summit
Our meeting today is a cry for the outside world, the international community. The Lebanese are a peaceful people and we do not want wars; we demand an immediate cessation of the war and an end to this massacre that is reaping thousands and thousands of martyrs, wounded, sick, and dead, and leaves homes destroyed. This meeting is also a call for our children in Lebanon to stand firm no matter the difficulties. We will remain steadfast and shall not look back, but rather keep our eyes looking ahead.
