During Sunday Mass, Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rahi delivered a pointed message, warning that the primary threat to Lebanon lies not in external dangers but in the internal vacuum of responsible and just leadership.

He stressed that all authority must be exercised as a form of service, grounded in faithful stewardship. “What threatens our nation is the absence of wise, just, and honest governance that recognizes every form of authority as a responsibility to serve,” Rahi declared.
