The Pope's meeting with Lebanon's Christian leaders began at his residence, Casa Santa Marta at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
The first to greet the Pope was Maronite patriarch, Cardinal Boutros Rai.<\/p>\n
Then Catholicos Aram I of the Armenian Church of Cilicia.<\/p>\n
-Good morning. How are you? After greeting everyone, they left Casa Santa Marta and entered St. Peter's Basilica.<\/p>\n The basilica was practically empty. Everyone sat in front of the main altar. There, Pope Francis led the prayer that unites all Christians: The Lord's Prayer.<\/p>\n Lebanon's Christian leaders joined him.<\/p>\n They prayed in Arabic and then spent some moments in silent prayer.<\/p>\n Then they walked down the stairs to the crypt where St. Peter's tomb is. There they lit a candle.<\/p>\n It was with this sober and prayerful mood that the representatives of the Christian Churches in Lebanon began their meeting for peace in their country.<\/p>\n They will hold three meetings in the Vatican Apostolic Palace today and conclude the day in St. Peter's Basilica.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Javier Romero<\/p>\n TR: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 1, 2021.
