An excerpt from the liturgy in Maronite form on Mondays in the Season of the glorious cross. #HolyCrossOfJesusChrist #Liturgy #Maronite #Hymn Things have been getting more difficult for the Maronites living in northern Cyprus in the past few weeks. The Maronite Community in that area has had a long and difficult history. The area came under Turkish control in late August 1974. About 20,000 Greek and Maronite Cypriots remained living in their villages and townships at the time. According to April 2013 figures, this number had dropped dramatically and only 437 people remained – 328 Greek Cypriots and 109 Maronite Cypriots. Over the last few weeks a tax has been imposed by Turkish authorities on goods, including food, carried by the UN convoys. The UN has been delivering huminatarian supplies to these enclaved communities for close to four decades. The providing of humantarian aid has been based on a longstanding agreement between the two sides, and provides hundreds of elderly and other vulnerable people with basic supplies on a weekly basis. The remaining Maronites and Greek Cypriots had refused to leave their homes under an agreement to transfer populations trapped behind the frontline following the Turkish invasion of 1974. We pray for our Maronite brothers and sisters in Northern Cyprus at this time and all the vulnerable peoples of the world. Read an article about dying with dignity in the Maronite perspective. Link is in our bio The Maronite Church is not for any one culture or peoples. It is a Church for the entire world and a way of living for anyone who might be attracted to Christ through its beauty and traditions. Read Tresa Van Heusen‘s story at http://catholic-link.org/maronite-catholic-eastern-rites/?utm_content=buffer3daf1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer We all carry our own cross and deal with it in our own way. Our beautiful friend Rita Ghossein has given us a glimpse of how she carries her cross. We have known Rita and her beautiful family for many years in our Parish and their faith has been an inspiration to us all. Read this lovely testimony from this inspirational woman (read her story at livingmaronite.com). We thank Rita for her courage. On September 26, the Maronite Church commemorates Saint John the Evangelist. He was one of the first to be called to be an apostle, and he alone remained by Jesus at the foot of the cross with Mary. Saint John can be credited for the gospel of John, The Gospel three letters and The book of Revelations. Read a reflection on Saint John the Evangelist, written by Father Yuhanna at livingmaronite.com. Father Yuhanna has taken this great saints name on being ordained into the priesthood, we wish him and all those named after the great apostle, a blessed name day.
