In this episode of Reconquest, Brother André Marie reflects on the suffering of Lebanon, especially the plight of Lebanese Christians caught in war, instability, and political turmoil. He discusses the history of Lebanon, the identity of the Maronites, the broader Catholic significance of the region, and the tragic reality faced by Christians in the crossfire of modern conflict.

Brother André also explores the legacy of St. Charbel, one of Lebanon’s most beloved saints, and calls on Catholics everywhere to pray for Lebanon, its clergy, its faithful, and its future.

This episode is both a historical reflection and a spiritual appeal: remember Lebanon, remember her Christians, and ask God for mercy, peace, and protection.

Topics in this episode include:

The suffering of Christians in Lebanon
Lebanon’s ancient Phoenician and Christian roots
Maronite identity and history
Hezbollah, regional conflict, and instability
The Catholic importance of Lebanon
The life and sanctity of St. Charbel
A call to prayer for the Church in Lebanon

Please pray for Lebanon, for persecuted Christians, for priests and bishops serving under danger, and for peace rooted in Christ the King.
