Father Ibrahim marks Virgin Mary Feast
Archbishop Ibrahim Mikhail Ibrahim, Primate of the Melkite Catholic Archdiocese of Zahle and the Beqaa, celebrated the Feast of the Transcendence of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Salvation Cathedral in Zahle. During his sermon, he emphasized that the feast represents the victory of life over death and embodies the hope that the Virgin Mary is a reflection of humanity as God envisioned it—accepting God's will with humility and faith. He clarified that the Virgin's assumption does not mean she is distant from the earth, but that she is drawing closer to her children as a mother. He addressed the faithful, encouraging them to emulate her virtues of humility, obedience, love, and forgiveness, affirming that sanctity is manifested in faithfulness to daily life. He called for trust in God despite uncertainties and asked for protection for Lebanon, its families, and youth. He concluded with a prayer that believers may reach the joy of the eternal kingdom where there is no sorrow or pain.
