St. Charbel Makhlouf: The Miracle Worker of Lebanon and a Light for the World

Learn about his history and modern-day healings. In the quiet hills of Lebanon, a silence cultivated over a century ago continues to speak louder than the noise of the modern world. It is the silence of Saint Charbel Makhlouf, a Maronite monk whose life of extreme hiddenness has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon of healing and faith. For Catholics and Orthodox Christians alike—and indeed, for many Muslims in the Middle East—St. Charbel is not merely a historical figure; he is a living, active presence.

The Good News

  T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death.  He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife.  All we need now to do is accept Him as He is.  God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this.  The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness.  This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us.  It is ultimately about God and about others.  It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense.

The deadly sin of sloth

  In the labyrinthine corridors of the human spirit, there dwells a sinister phantom known as sloth, a spectral wraith that cloaks the soul in the shroud of indolence and inertia. Like a shadow that creeps across the sepulcher of the mind, sloth casts its pall over the aspirations and endeavors of mortals, rendering them prisoners of their own lethargy and torpor. In the bleak landscape of human existence, sloth emerges as a specter of desolation, a ghastly apparition that haunts the recesses of the heart with its icy grip. In the annals of biblical lore, sloth is depicted as a yawning abyss that swallows the soul whole, leaving behind naught but the hollow echo of wasted potential and unfulfilled promise. In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon muses, " The lazy man says, 'There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!'" (Ecclesiastes 22:13) . In this bleak pronouncement, Solomon unveils the self-imposed prison of sloth, wherein the slothful soul cowers ...
