Patriarch Hobby’s Beatification and Lebanon’s Future

The beatification of Patriarch Elias Howayek is not merely a ecclesiastical event; it reaffirms his legacy in founding the idea of "Great Lebanon" and his role in advancing the establishment of the Lebanese state based on partnership among all its components, especially after World War I. This event reflects the need to reexamine his contributions within the context of Lebanon's existential crisis, emphasizing the importance of unity amid diversity and rejecting exclusion. Howayek consistently advocated for peaceful coexistence and dignity, ideas that are embedded in Lebanon's constitution and national covenant. Moreover, the beatification carries a spiritual message that goes beyond political matters, honoring a man who dedicated his life to serving his people and called for peace and justice. It comes at a time when questions about nation-building and maintaining national partnership are renewed, underscoring that Lebanon’s strength lies in embracing all its sons and daughters and uniting them under one roof.
