In this episode of Reconquest, Brother André Marie reflects on the suffering of Lebanon, especially the plight of Lebanese Christians caught in war, instability, and political turmoil. He discusses the history of Lebanon, the identity of the Maronites, the broader Catholic significance of the region, and the tragic reality faced by Christians in the crossfire of modern conflict.
Brother André also explores the legacy of St. Charbel, one of Lebanon’s most beloved saints, and calls on Catholics everywhere to pray for Lebanon, its clergy, its faithful, and its future.
