Saint Charbel
| "...a hermit of the Lebanese mountain is inscribed in the number of the blessed,
a new eminent member of monastic sanctity is enriching, by his example and his intercession, the entire Christian people.
May he make us understand, in a world largely fascinated by wealth and comfort, the paramount value of poverty, penance
and asceticism, to liberate the soul in its ascent to God..." |
