Saint Charbel Quotes

“The essence of holiness makes us live in the atmosphere of a never ending miracle. The saint requires the world in which he lives to present to a transparent face so that God's presence may pass through. This is Sharbel's miracle which perpetuates itself every day. It is untrue to say that the hermit runs away from mankind. It is more exact to say that he alone penetrates the world rather than gliding superficially over it and because of this, he has been permitted to view the foundation of all the world, the spirit. He has become God's contenance.”
― Paul Daher, Saint Charbel
