Dear Br. Habib and the Lasallians in Proche Orient,
I cannot keep my mind and heart away from the anxieties and fears, the sufferings and tears of those who are in the most vulnerable areas of the ongoing war in the Lasallian District of Proche Orient. The worrisome updates from you and the other communities are an occasion for fervent prayers and fraternal solidarity with all the affected families especially in the Shiite areas of Beirut, in the south and east of Lebanon and in Bethlehem.
We pray for some light at the end of the tunnel and the extraordinary grace that will guide and touch the hearts of those political leaders who make these fateful decisions that affect the lives of so many innocent civilians. Know that my mind and heart are united with yours through all these.
Fraternally yours,
Armin
