Servent of God Jacob or ABUNA YAAQUB LEBANON

LEBANON I am happy to see that this great Servant of God, the Father Jacob or ABUNA YAAQUB OFMCap. is gaining recognition. His extraordinary charity brings Lebanish people to hope that he will soon be proposed to God's people for devotion. Lebanon is a holy land, cited seventy-two times in the Bible.The prophet Elijah sought refuge in Sarepta, near Sidon. Christ walked its land, and cured the Canaamote daughter.St.Paul knelt down and prayed with the first Christian community on the shores of Tyre, before going to Rome and being martyred there.

Abuna Yaaqub used to say: " It is shameful to rest while people all over the world are striving"
