The phenomenon of the Lebanese
spread world-wide represents one of the most significant qualitative
developments in the life of the Maronite church as well as in the life of
Lebanon at large. Presently, the Maronite population worldwide has multiplied
so significantly that it now outnumbers the Lebanese living in the homeland.
The traditional emigration wave that represented in the past a source of
assistance and sustenance to the Lebanese in Lebanon has now transformed into
aggravating bleeding with serious repercussions on the Lebanese society in
general and the Maronites in particular thus augmenting the problems and the
typical challenges that the mother Maronite church has come to face on the
level of its spiritual responsibilities and pastoral services, as well as in
its national role towards its children and their outspread successive
generations. Most significant of these severe problems that demand appropriate
and urgent solutions is the issue of safeguarding and consolidating
intercommunicative bonds between the Lebanese, definitely including the
Maronites, and Lebanon—their homeland, and certainly strengthening the
ties with the Maronite Patriarchate being the principal spiritual
reference for the Maronites wherever they are on the bases that the Maronite
church is one in its entity and branched out worldwide. |
