Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rahi considered in Sunday mass sermon that “every honest dialogue requires trust between the interlocutors, and dialogue means that we listen to each other, discuss each other, agree with each other, and walk together, and thus we prosper the land of conflict and sow seeds of peace in it.”

Rahi considered that “the pursuit of a genuine path of international disarmament can only bring great benefits to the development of peoples and states and free financial resources to be used in a more convenient way for the health and welfare of the earth and others.”

“I appeal to the rulers and all those with political and social responsibilities to walk together on the three paths, i.e. intergenerational dialogue, education and work with courage and creativity,” he said.
