16th Week of Ordinary Time C – Thursday – Saint Sharbel Makhlūf – Optional Memorial
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, peace be with you. Today, the Church invites us to contemplate the life of Saint Sharbel Makhlūf, a quiet and hidden saint from the mountains of Lebanon. He lived a life of such humility, silence, and devotion that even in death, God chose to reveal his holiness to the world. His story is both simple and astonishing.
