During a memorial mass for the victims of the Beirut Port explosion, Archbishop Paul Abdel Sater delivered a powerful message five years after the deadly blast.
To those responsible for the August 4, 2020 explosion, Abdel Sater warned: “The blood of the innocent cries out to God for justice, and He hears it. Don’t think He will forget you, even if you hide deep underground or take refuge behind a corrupt leader.”
He stressed that the Lebanese people still demand the full truth. “They want to know every name behind this crime.”
