Beirut: Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi stated during a mass attended by the Minister of Information that nations are not preserved by weapons nor protected by force, but are instead built on love that reshapes human relations and allows individuals to see one another as partners rather than adversaries.
According to National news agency - Lebanon, Al-Rahi stressed in his sermon that true stability cannot be achieved through instruments of power, but through strengthening understanding and cooperation among citizens. He warned that rhetoric of hatred and division threatens the foundations of coexistence.
The mass was attended by several official and social figures and carried both spiritual and national messages calling for greater internal unity amid ongoing challenges.
