Pope Prays for Peace in Lebanon
The canonization of Patriarch Elias Howayek, who was a man of dialogue and a religious, social, and political authority in Lebanon, helped to strengthen the spirit of unity and peace in the country. Pope Leo XIII mentioned that Howayek was nicknamed the Father of Greater Lebanon, and he called on Marian faithful around the world to pray for his intercession, wishing that God would grant Lebanon the gift of peace. The relics of Howayek arrived in Tannourine amid a large popular reception, an event that carries profound national significance and reaffirms Lebanon's identity as a community and a message, not merely a geographical boundary.
