PRAYER FOR PEACE AND UNITY IN LEBANON - PRELATE PLEDGES SUPPORT TO THE CONSUL GENERAL OF LEBANON
For over a week now Lebanon has been subject to attacks by Israel,
which has left the country in bloodshed and resulted in a humanitarian
and security crisis.
The attacks have left hundreds of Lebanese dead, mostly innocent
citizens, and damaged the infrastructure of the country.
In light of this tragedy, His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh
Mardirossian, Prelate, spoke with Consul General Charbel Wehbe on
Tuesday July 18, expressing his sympathy and that of the entire
Armenian community for the casualties the country has suffered,
wishing for unity and solidarity to prevail in Lebanon and among the
Lebanese people. The Consul General spoke of the situation in Lebanon,
and on behalf of the government requested that the Armenian community
offer any humanitarian assistance within their means to the civilian
victims. The Consulate is planning to designate a special committee
to coordinate these humanitarian efforts.
On Sunday July 23, a special prayer will be said in all Prelacy
churches for the lives lost in the fighting.
We urge our faithful to pray for peace, security, and unity in Lebanon.
