Pascha Message 2010 - Christ is Risen
  
PRIMATE HIS EMINENCE METROPOLITAN ARCHBISHOP PAUL SALIBA

To all of our Reverend Clergy & esteemed members of the Churches of
our God Blessed Archdiocese.

I greet you all on this great victory bearing
Feast of Feast - the Resurrection of Our Lord, with the most heartfelt and joyful greeting.
The Resurrection means Glory, triumph and opening of our eyes, of our hearts.
That will help us to free our everyday lives from all prejudice and blindness. It is necessary for all the faithful in His Resurrection to overcome themselves and all of their imperfection and allow the Resurrected Lord, to realise for us our own personal resurrection.
Is this Pascha different than the last Pascha? Are we able to discern the real Pascha from the worldly one?
Do we realize how much the world has lured us to our moral ruin?
De we realise how much the family and the youth suffer distancing from the church and from God?
And becoming so vulnerable to the temptations of secularism?
If we do not open our eyes and confront reality, will we not, knowingly or unknowingly, become the sons and daughters of the ungodly world?
But, where Christ is the Victor, there also is our hope. [Read More - ENGLISH/ ARABIC]
