A Maronite church in Lebanon is celebrating the proclamation of Saint Elias Hovek as blessed. A Thanksgiving Mass was held at the Holy Family Monastery in Abra, attended by prominent religious and national figures, as well as local residents and people from other Lebanese regions. The celebrations focused on honoring the life and achievements of Hovek, who founded the Congregation of the Maronite Holy Family Sisters and contributed to the establishment of Greater Lebanon in 1920. Emphasizing his guiding principle "God’s Satisfaction" and his deep faith in divine care, the event highlighted his legacy. The Pope emphasized the importance of love for the homeland and working toward building a strong state with solid institutions. He shared excerpts from Hovek’s life and accomplishments, reaffirming that the blessed man was a symbol of sacrifice and patriotism, and called on Lebanese people to be salt and light within their community. The celebrations concluded with a procession around Hovek’s tomb, featuring a spiritual and artistic display, accompanied by prayers for the Lebanese to always remain salt and light for their country.
