Al-Rahi in Easter Message Hopes for End of Cabinet, Economic Crisis
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi expressed hope in his Easter message on Friday that Lebanon would overcome the crisis on the formation of the new government.
Al-Rahi hoped in a televised address that “the resurrection would be reflected in our national lives” and “the country would rise thanks to the goodwill” of officials in solving “the government formation crisis and the deteriorating situation that citizens are suffering from.”
He lamented that the political deadlock was worsening economic and social problems and encouraging emigration.
Al-Rahi hoped there would be peace, stability and understanding in the Palestinian territories and in Arab countries that are suffering from turmoil.
Reconciliations, agreement and dialogue are among the manifestations of the resurrection, he said, in reference to the meeting of the top Christian leaders under the sponsorship of al-Rahi in Bkirki on Tuesday.
