In
his Sunday sermon, Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir
questioned the willingness of some Lebanese to sell the interests of
their country, adding that Lebanon and its history, heritage and
traditions would nonetheless persist as long as its people were bound
by brotherhood.

Sfeir
said Lebanon was witnessing the disintegration of the homeland. "The
Government is truncated and the deputies do not meet, and this means
that we will see them move down the road towards collapse," he added.

"This scene does not encourage us to do the impossible to save the country, which is threatened by imminent dangers," he added.

"We ask God to inspire us for the salvation of our nation and our own salvation," Sfeir said.
