The Pastor of Saint Maron Diocese in Canada, Archbishop Paul Marouane Tabet, confirmed that the apology of His Holiness Pope Francis to the indigenous people of Canada is a lesson in humility for every Christian believer.
Commenting on the visit, he said: Apology means asking for forgiveness, and asking for forgiveness means tolerance, and tolerance inevitably leads to reconciliation with others, despite their differences and diversity, and reconciliation imposes on the believer obligations that inevitably lead to peace. This is what our world needs today, which is tossed by waves from all sides, and is experiencing existential crises, in its faith and spiritual life, in its daily living, and in dealing with others.

On this occasion, we wish His Holiness the Pope for good health, to keep a watchful eye on his Church. We have full confidence that his health condition will help him, so he visits Lebanon, the country he loves and prays for, and works to rise from its depression and its many tragedies.
