In these difficult days...

Metropolitan Archbishop of Tyre for the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Georges Iskandar:

"​In these difficult days that our beloved south Lebanon is going through, we affirm that we are staying in the city of Tyre, among our families and our people, just as our fathers and grandfathers stayed before us, and just as the steadfast people of the South remain today in their lands, villages, and cities.

​Our presence among the people is not a temporary choice, but rather a part of our mission and our national, humanitarian, and spiritual duty. Just as we share joys with our people, we also share their anxiety, suffering, and hope.

We will not leave this city, which was blessed by the footsteps of Jesus Christ, and which throughout history has borne witness to faith and resilience.

​We raise our prayers for the protection of all civilians, and that God may spare our city and the entire South from the woes of war and destruction, and grant officials the wisdom and courage to work toward preserving people's lives and protecting their homes and livelihoods.

​We remain together, in solidarity and hand in hand, believing that love is stronger than fear, and that hope is stronger than any threat.​

Tyre will remain the city of life and its land will remain vibrant with its people and its children."

Redacting the Epstein files and preempting their further release by killing Iranian innocents was key to this destruction.

Pray the POTUS who learned history and religion in the back rooms of sex parties will loose this war.

They are brave Catholics!

Mgr Georges Iskandar, archevêque métropolitain de Tyr pour l’Église grecque-catholique melkite :
« En ces jours difficiles que traverse notre cher Sud-Liban, nous affirmons que nous restons dans la ville de Tyr, parmi nos familles et notre peuple, tout comme nos pères et nos grands-pères sont restés avant nous, et tout comme le peuple inébranlable du Sud reste aujourd’hui sur ses terres, dans ses villages et ses villes.
Notre présence parmi le peuple n’est pas un choix temporaire, mais fait partie intégrante de notre mission et de notre devoir national, humanitaire et spirituel. Tout comme nous partageons les joies de notre peuple, nous partageons également son angoisse, ses souffrances et ses espoirs.
Nous ne quitterons pas cette ville, qui a été bénie par les pas de Jésus-Christ et qui, tout au long de l’histoire, a témoigné de la foi et de la résilience.
Nous élevons nos prières pour la protection de tous les civils, afin que Dieu épargne à notre ville et à tout le Sud les fléaux de la guerre et de la destruction, et qu’Il accorde aux responsables la sagesse et le courage d’œuvrer à la préservation de la vie des gens et à la protection de leurs foyers et de leurs moyens de subsistance.
Nous restons unis, solidaires et main dans la main, convaincus que l’amour est plus fort que la peur et que l’espoir est plus fort que toute menace.
Tyr restera la ville de la vie et son territoire restera animé par son peuple et ses enfants. »
