Bishop Ibrahim leads Feast of the Assumption Mass in Farzala
Father Ibrahim Makhail Ibrahim, the head archbishop of Zara and Zahle and the Bika’ for the Melkite Catholic Church, officiated a liturgy on the night of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Zahle.

He also pointed out that Mary's Assumption is the fruit of Christ’s Resurrection and His promise to all who remain faithful to Him. He explained that holiness begins with obeying God and trusting in His Word, rather than solely through grand deeds. The bishop called for reviving faith within homes and holding fast to the virtues of the Virgin Mary, expressing that she is close to the faithful as a mother to the Church and to them personally, guiding them to her Son, Jesus. At the end of his sermon, he prayed that Lebanon be granted the grace of protection and guidance from the Virgin Mary, and that believers live lives of virtues such as humility, obedience, prayer, and love with the goal of reaching the Kingdom of Heaven, while committing to living out their faith in their daily lives.
