Abraham Foundation, geared towards helping many of the 300,000 displaced people in Lebanon get back to their homes. The August 4th explosion turned Beirut’s port area and surroundings into rubble, displacing over 300,000 people. Buildings, once the heart of this lively city are empty, desolate, with their windows blasted inwards, tables upended, and furniture destroyed; the view is surreal. Our e

fforts are focused on providing the people of Beirut with the support they need to rebuild their homes.

On this Labor Day, we recognize the people across Lebanon who continue showing up, working, and supporting their communities—often in the most challenging circumstances.

From those providing essential services to those quietly helping others move forward, their work sustains more than livelihoods—it sustains dignity and resilience.

Today, we acknowledge their effort, their commitment, and the strength it takes to keep going.

This Easter, we hold close the meaning of renewal, even in difficult times.
In the story of Easter, we are reminded that light is not absent in darkness—it endures through it.
Across Lebanon, we think of all those holding on with hope, supporting one another, and continuing forward with strength and dignity.
May this Easter bring moments of peace, comfort, and hope.

في هذا العيد، نتمسّك بمعنى القيامة والتجدّد، حتى في الأوقات الصعبة.
تذكّرنا قصة الفصح أنّ النور لا يغيب في الظلمة، بل يبقى حاضرًا فيها.
في مختلف أنحاء لبنان، نفكّر بكل من يتمسّك بالأمل، ويساند من حوله، ويواصل المضي قدمًا.
نتمنّى أن يحمل هذا العيد لحظات من السلام والراحة، والأمل.

Sharing a reflection inspired by recent remarks from Pope Leo XIV on the responsibility of journalism in times of conflict. A reminder that the realities of war are best understood through the experiences of those most affected—where human dignity and compassion remain at the center.

Lebanon: A Statement of Peace

"In this hour, words fail me and perhaps that is as it should be. Some sorrows are too deep for language. My silence is not indifference. It is reverence. It is prayer.

To every soul I know and love, and to the countless I have never met but carry in my heart, I pray you are safe. I pray this violence ends soon.

War does many things. It fragments narratives. It sharpens accusations. It pushes people apart and makes it harder to remember who we truly are to one another. There are those who claim to defend Lebanon through violence and division. But they do not speak for Lebanon.

They do not speak for her people, her history, or her soul. Lebanon has never asked to be held hostage by divided loyalties or the ambitions of those who do not bleed when she bleeds.

To them I say with love and with firmness: stand as a citizen of Lebanon—fully, faithfully, without division, or step aside.

Because citizenship is not about having the right opinion. It is about character. It is the courage to hold complexity without collapsing into hatred. Societies are not only shaped by events, they are shaped by how we choose to remain human within them.

Look to the cedar. It has stood for thousands of years, through empires, through fire, through the very time of Christ. It does not bend to the storm. It endures.

And so must we.

Stand up. Be strong. Endure. Lebanon will shine again.

GodSpeed!"
