”Sharbel is like a Cedar of Lebanon standing in eternal prayer, on top of a mountain.”From Saint Charbel
“The monk in his monastery is like a king in his palace: His kingdom is his order; his soldiers are his brethren; his glory is his virtue and sanctity; his crown is his love of God and his order; his scepter is his chastity and purity; his weapon is his poverty, obedience and prayers; his royal garment is his humility and gentleness.”From Saint Charbel
“You have united O lord, Your Divinity with our humanity, and our humanity, with your divinty, Your life with our mortality, and our mortality with Your life. You have assumed what is ours and you have given us what is Yours, for the life and salvation of our souls. To you be glory forever.”Charbel, The Man
