The Daily Maronite: Mary & St. Sharbel in the midst of a spiritual battle

Mary & St. Sharbel in the midst of a spiritual battle

 

The evil hand that has been controlling Lebanon for almost 30 years tried to assassinate many leaders or journalists who spoke out against terror.
It is the war between the “beast” & the children of God.
In the 80’s, Camille Chamoun, a former Maronite President, survived after an assassination attempt with a car bomb. After the incident, Camille Chamoun took a picture of Our Lady of the Hill out of his pocket saying to the media: “It is mary who saved me.”

On October 1, 2004, Marwan Hamade, a Druze Deputee, survived after an assassination attempt with a powerful car bomb. after the incident, he took a medal out of his pocket saying to the media: “This miraculous medal of Our Lady (Catherine De Laboure) saved me.”

On July 12, 2005, Elias El-Murr, an Orthodox Defense Minister, survived after an assassination attempt with a powerful car bomb. After the incident, he took a medal out of his pocket saying to the media that the medal of Our Lady brought to him from Medugorje saved him.

On September 25, 2005, May Chidiac, an Anti-Syrian journalist, survived an assassination attempt. She lost her left arm and her left leg. It was a big miracle. The bomb was planted under her car. After she gained conscious, she said: “St. Sharbel saved me. After the explosion, she heard his voice saying to her, ‘Get up my daughter’. May Chidiac had visited St. Sharbel shrine where she attended Mass and lit some candles praying for the intercession of St. Sharbel, just hours before the explosion.

Mary & the Saints are present with us in our spiritual battle against a terrorist regime that is collapsing at the moment.

Pray for us.
