Fun Fact

Fr. Charbel was a Maronite monk who had a unique ability to unite Muslims and Christians alike.

Also, uniquely, he always kept his head down. People almost never had a chance to see his face unless at mass, where he lifted his eyes upward to the tabernacle.

Prayer

Saint Charbel, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may fix my eyes on what is true and good, and that I may be open-minded to those of other faiths.

Amen.
