On Behalf of the Maronite nation, I would like to thank our Holly Father Pope Benedict XVI.

You gave the weak Maronite Nation strength and hope, with your visit and attention to the Lebanese Church. You strengthen the foundation of the Church through your leadership, teaching  and love. 

As your last international trip, you chose Lebanon.  This means a lot for us the Maronites! We really value this trip that we will never forget. It will always be in our heart. We will continue through your teachings.

You are the Pope that re-built the Catholic Nation. You have unified the faithful around the world, by engaging with all of the 5 continents and making all of us part of the decision. Thank You!
