Al-Rahi: True Official Does Not Use his Supporters for Own Interest
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi said Sunday a real official does not take advantage of the people to seek his own interests.
In his sermon during mass held in Bkirki, al-Rahi lamented that Lebanese officials seek the support of their followers to get personal benefits at the expense of the nation.
A true official does not use his influence for his personal interest. On the contrary, he sacrifices for the common good, he said.
Al-Rahi hoped that the Lebanese and Christians in particular would unity and overcome their differences.
“We should come out of our differences that are a deep wound,” he said.
He warned that the latest security incidents would lead to a further deterioration in the security situation.
Al-Rahi also hoped that the long-awaited Geneva II peace talks on Syria would be successful.
The talks open open Wednesday.
