It is a great joy for me to visit #Lebanon, where “peace” is much more than just a word. Here, #Peace is a desire and a vocation; it is a gift and a work in progress. I wish to recall the words of Jesus that have been chosen as the central theme of my journey: “Blessed are the peacemakers!” (Mt 5:9). #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/yNa30imWyb
#Lebanon will flourish once again, beautiful and vigorous like the cedar, a symbol of the people’s unity and fruitfulness. The strength of the cedar lies in its roots. In the same way, the many good things we see in Lebanese society today are the result of the humble, hidden and honest work of so many people of good will, of the many good roots. Draw from the good roots of those dedicated to serving society. Be the source of hope that the country is waiting for! #ApostolicJourney
