Not even close to Bkerke yet, we’re still ~10 km away, and the highways are already lined with people holding Vatican and Lebanese flags. The joy and excitement for the Pope’s visit are unreal. 🤍🇱🇧🇻🇦

The strike was precise. No one was hurt. But we have a bigger problem we need to address We must be careful about who we sell/ rent land to We cant allow our ignorance to turn our villages into targets We may not know what we’re doing but they do They know why&amp;where they buy land

Did I get sick waiting for the Pope in the rain with no umbrella? Probably… But it was worth it. Welcome to 🇱🇧 Pope Leo🤍

2 hours of standing with no service, watching a chimney and a seagull. The ultimate Catholic experience.

*How excited are you to see pope Leo?* Catholic priests in Turkey:

At the Holy Spirit Cathedral, Pope Leo was received with loud ululations and an emotional welcome from the catholic community in Istanbul 🤍

“The Church must breathe with her two lungs.” And today, the Eastern lung chanted in Syriac and Arabic in Rome for the jubilee of eastern churches🤍

For the past 2000 years, different forces have tried to eliminate 🇱🇧Christians, through genocides, wars, assassinations etc Today 150k of them celebrated Mass with the Successor of St Peter, Pope Leo. Today Leb Christians are still in their indigenous land, hopeful, free &amp;happy

At the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Istanbul, Mass is celebrated in English, French and Turkish. Most parishioners are immigrants, many are converts exiled from countries like Iran. Pope Leo will meet them tomorrow morning!

Never seen so many journalists in the Vatican. More than 4,000 are covering the funeral. We’re not excluded from communion 🤍

‘Al-Masih Qam’ was sung in Arabic at the Vatican… and all of Rome was listening. Goosebumps.

A Chaldean choir chanted in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, for Pope Leo at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Istanbul. 🤍

Lebanese youth are joyful, resilient, hopeful… and here to stay.🇱🇧 Thank you, Pope Leo, for this historic evening. 🇻🇦

Christos Anesti🤍 One of them will be pope next week, who will it be?

When international leaders speak about Lebanon, it often sounds like a reprimand, a list of accusations: corruption, crisis, collapse… But Pope Leo’s message was different… a change… he lifted us up. He told us we will flourish. He brought back the “Hope” our youth needed. 🤍

إقبل ربّنا الحنان… Maronite chants (Arabic/Syriac) at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Day 7 of the Novendiales Masses offered for the repose of Pope Francis.

Since it seems that Father Andrew has a lot of fans here…here’s an extra video of him sharing some wisdom ✨

Had so much fun at Padre Guilherme’s techno party in Beirut. Ave Maria. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Papal messages from Pope Francis, St John Paul II, and Pope Leo XIV. Joyful, beautiful, alive. The people attacking him just don’t understand how powerful and needed his work is.

Lebanon’s migrant workers are often forgotten, despite the challenges they face and the years they spend away from their families… The same goes for UNIFIL peacekeepers serving far from home. They were also happy to see the Pope, and his visit brought hope to them too. 🇱🇧🇻🇦

Kadishat Aloho, Kadishat... Vespers in the Syriac Antiochene tradition at Basilica Maria Maggiore. To our left: the tomb of Pope Francis🤍
