This is the will of Pope Francis for Lebanon

Yesterday, the world and the Vatican bid farewell to Pope Francis, in a massive funeral in which Lebanon participated. The “Cedar Country” has always been in the heart of the late Pope, and had a desire to visit it, but the security and economic conditions in addition to the void in the first presidency, and the recent Israeli war on Lebanon, all factors that prevented the Catholic Church head from coming to Beirut, but he kept reminding the Lebanese in every occasion in his prayers so that they enjoy peace and reassurance.

In his life, the Pope was calling on the Lebanese to help themselves so that the Vatican and the world support them in their ordeal. Perhaps the most prominent thing he was calling was to elect a president of the republic, and this matter was achieved, and the Vatican intervened through the Cardinal Pitro Parolin in this file to end the vacancy that prevented the visit of the late Pope to Lebanon.

While the wish of Pope Francis was achieved by electing a Christian president at the head of the Lebanese state, his will and the invitation of his predecessors from the Popes was the preservation of Lebanon on his identity and his religious and sectarian diversity, and stressed the Christian presence in the country and to live in partnership with their Muslim brothers, for the Vatican, it has always been seen as a “homeland”. Especially since it is located among Islamic countries, while in Beirut alone, the President of the Republic is a Christian.

Perhaps Lebanon has begun to follow the recovery rail, starting from the election of a president, the formation of a government and the launch of reforms, and this is what Pope Francis was calling for, so that the Lebanese are the international aid that will directly contribute to the country’s rise again.

Likewise, the late Pope’s will is that Lebanon is a strong state capable of extending its sovereignty over its entire lands and protecting its citizens, without any interference from abroad, so that the country is neutralized from the most prominent conflicts in the region, so Pope Francis for peace in the Middle East and other countries singled out, and Lebanon singled out the mention of its illness, and in its last days.

With the view of the Pope and the Vatican, the “homeland of the message” is in order to enjoy peace on it to be aware of the importance of all the Lebanese with their various sects equal before the law, and that they believe in the diversity that Lebanon has, and that they join in difficult circumstances, and that they hate hate speech, division and work in hand in order to build a strong state The Lebanese export peace and progress instead of wars, destruction and killing.

According to the Vatican, Lebanon was and still is the land of prayer and holiness, and it was intended for several former doors and they visited it, and they mentioned it in their prayers so that the country of the saints and the message remains, despite all the risks that he passed and still. According to many circles, the next Pope will complete the work of Pope Francis, and will support the Lebanese in different fields, to the anti -Christian presence in the Middle East, especially since the region is witnessing a major shift after the Gaza war, and there are risks to some peoples and sects, while Pope Francis called in his life to live the participating, and worked to sign the brother’s document in the Emirates with the Sheikh of Al -Azhar, so that citizens live Arab countries and the world in peace and love, and adhere to humanity to reject the discourse of hatred and sectarianism.
