Maronite bishops hail 'improving situation' in Lebanon
Maronite bishops asked the Lebanese to profit from the country’s improvements and to work toward the best interests of their country.
The bishops were gathered in Bkirki for their monthly meeting presided over by Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Butros Sfeir.
They tackled local developments and issued a statement in which they asked the Lebanese to unite in “these somewhat improving conditions.”
The bishops expressed their joy that Lebanon’s situation was improving despite the violent events that were surrounding it. “Aggression in Lebanon is dissipating thanks to the efforts of security officials,” their statement said. They also expressed their happiness on the occasion of Easter, which was celebrated last Sunday, and said the celebration made the Lebanese forget their troubles and the increasing cost of living.
