Christ our Lord, you have shown to us

mercy from your holy heart

You have taught us, through Saint Maron,

fervent love and sacrifice.

Grant to us a contrite heart,

Draw us to the heights above

As we contemplate the life of our father, Saint Maron, we admire the divine providence which guided him.

It took him by the hand and led him to the kingdom during each stage of his life.

It guided him first of all to the mountain, Qorosh, where he dwelled in solitude and renunciation of the world.

He sought the face of God, following the footsteps of the saints so well that the reputation of his sanctity and the fragrance of his virtues spread abroad.

From everywhere people came to ask his advice in their difficulties, to be healed of their diseases and to be instructed.

Crowds demanded all kinds of things, but he did not turn anyone away.

The calls of those who wished to imitate his way of life and dedication to God multiplied around his own.

O Maron, through your intercession may we celebrate your glorious memory in joy.

May we have your spirit as we live out the gospel beatitudes, and may we uphold the name of faith you have bequeathed to us, until we come to God in heaven, the dwelling of all the saints.

With you, we praise him, for ever. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

With him may we endure every difficulty, confront every trial, and so enter your heavenly paradise to give you glory, for ever. Amen.
