St. Sharbel Pray For Us

JMJ+D

As we celebrate today's saint, let us ask him to intercede for the Middle East for peace between Lebanon and Israel. Hat tip to Nunblog.

(1828-1898) Saint Sharbel was a Lebanese monk, born in a small mountain village and ordained in 1858. Devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he spent the last twenty-three years of his life as a hermit. Despite temptations to wealth and comfort, Sharbel taught the value of poverty, self-sacrifice, and prayer by the way he lived. (WFF)
