Thinking about the Eucharist… When we are meditang on the Eucharist, it is also good to think about the altar. We give the altar a lot of honor and respect. Why do we do that? Consider what the Catechism says: “Catechism of the Catholic Church 1383 : The altar, around which the Church is gathered in the celebraon of the Eucharist, represents the two aspects of the same mystery: the altar of the sacrifice and the table of the Lord. This is all the more so since the Chrisan altar is the symbol of Christ himself, present in the midst of the assembly of his faithful, both as the vicm offered for our reconciliaon and as food from heaven who is giving himself to us. "For what is the altar of Christ if not the image of the Body of Christ?"214 asks St. Ambrose. He says elsewhere, "The altar represents the body [of Christ] and the Body of Christ is on the altar."215 The liturgy expresses this unity of sacrifice and communion in many prayers…” The altar also brings to mind the many saints and martyrs who gave their lives to Christ and who intercede for us daily. Some altars even contain the relics of saints which are housed in altar stones.

Since then, my life has not been the same and Sayedna Robert is absolutely right when he told me from experience, "One phone call can change your whole life." Various feelings and thoughts overtook me: feelings of joy, of being selected but more so the feeling of fear of carrying the responsibility; feelings of pride along with feelings of humility, knowing that I am not the best and the most qualified person; feelings of excitement along with feelings of the weight of the office of the bishop. In the midst of these feelings, I decided to surrender to God as the Blessed Mother did when the Archangel Gabriel announced to her that she was chosen to become the Mother of God and as Jesus taught us in the Our Father: "Thy will be done." This is my motto and I hope to live my Episcopal ministry fulfilling God's will in my personal life, and I invite you as well to do likewise, so that all of us, people of God, in this beloved Eparchy are doing God's will.

  • September 2015
    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XI Issue No. VIII September 2015 Welcome Pope Francis ith an ardent desire to be a true Christian in word, deed and daily life we welcome Pope WFrancis, who speaks consistently about Christians being coherent in their witness to Christ. This means that we are the same when everyone is looking as well as when no one is looking, and whether we are rich or poor, Democrat or Republican, March 8 or March 14 [political movements], we are called by God to be the same person at Church, in the family and in the world. This is the consistency that Pope Francis is asking of us, and it is the best gift we can offer to welcome him September 22 - 27, 2015, to the United States of America. The theme of his papacy has been mercy. The Holy Year that begins December 8, 2015, is also about mercy, which should embrace those fallen away from the faith, the poor and the forgotten, the refugee, prisoner, victim of trafficking, or of persecution; mercy for the angry, for the sad, for the discouraged; mercy for others and mercy for ourselves! Pope Francis sees this beautiful world of ours, namely creation, and asks: Why are we so selfish, treating both nature and our vulnerable brothers and sisters so poorly? Why are we such a throw away culture? We throw away stuff, and we throw away people: the unborn, elderly, those with special needs, and those who have no voice. Pope Francis warns us not to sin by doing wrong.
