The "Youth of Hope" association, under the patronage of Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai, in collaboration with Malta Lebanon represented by the social pillar officer Leya Khazn Mallett, and the Youth Ministry Office in the Patriarchate in Bkerke, organized a gathering for the elderly around a table of love at the Patriarchal Seat - Bkerke. In his remarks, Patriarch Rai expressed his joy in overseeing this meeting, his great trust, and pride in the organizing bodies of this event, which "provides the most beautiful and true image of our community and church." He thanked the elderly for their "mission, which is their prayer that through their rosaries, Lebanon remains steadfast and strong; otherwise, it would have fallen long ago, as politicians are destroying the nation, but through prayer and love, nations are built."
