Al-Rahi presides over Mass in Bcharre marking 'Feast of the Transfiguration': No matter the difficulties, we cling to Jesus Chirst, the Risen One, Master of History

NNA - Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, presided over the festive Mass on the occasion of the Transfiguration Day, held this morning in the "Cedars of God" Forest in Bcharre, in the presence of a number of political, religious, mayoral figures and members of the "Friends of the Cedar Forest Committee", alongside and a crowd of believers.
In his homily, the Patriarch said: "We are all called to the resurrection, through our pain and the many difficulties we are going through these days, for we are the children of the resurrection and not of death."

He deemed that the Resurrection of Chirst "is an affirmation for each of us that we are a community of hope," and that "no matter the difficulties, we adhere to the Risen Jesus, the Master of History, who knows how to bring us out of the state of death to the beauty and hope of the resurrection."

"Today we ask the Lord Jesus, on the day of His transfiguration, to strengthen our faith, and we ask Him to grant us the grace to overcome all the difficulties of life with the power of hope, and to continue our way, to find with Him alone the answer to all the questions and challenges of life, and to know how to read in the light of the Word all the signs of the times," al-Rahi asserted.

He concluded by expressing his well-wishes on this glorious occasion, and raising prayers in glory to Christ "our Savior, our Light, our Life, our Way, the Truth and the Life."
