"Mary, Shield of our Maronite Faith"
Dear Friends:
If a house is made of walls and beams, a home is built with love and
dreams. WELCOME HOME! Welcome to Our Lady of Lebanon Parish, in Washington,
DC, the Home built with love and dreams.
Once a young student approached the famous French scientist and philosopher,
Blaise Pascal, and declared, "If I had your brains, I would be a better
person."
Pondering the depth of that statement, Pascal paused momentarily before
replying, "Be a better person, and you will have my brain."
Almost every person wishes to be like Christ. Our Church stands as
a reminder to be better people, God's people, Christ's. May the following
statement of St. Theresa be the prayer of all of us, parishioners and
friends:
"Christ has
No body on earth but yours;
No hands but yours;
No feet but yours;
Yours are the eyes
Through which he is to look out
Christ's compassion to the world;
Yours are the feet
With which he is to go about
Doing good;
Yours the hands
With which he is to bless now."
Welcome to our Community of Faith! Welcome Home!
Your Priest,
Dominic Ashkar |
