"This is the great work of man: always to take the blame for his own sins before God and to expect temptation to his last breath." — Saint Anthony the Great

Beautiful picture of Saint Charbel praying and looking over Lebanon from a hill top. The country is currently being heavily struck. Nobody wins in war. Everyone loses.
