Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Beshara Boutros al-Rahi, expressed today, on behalf of the Maronite Chruch, his heartfelt condolences to the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council on the passing of Imam Sheikh Abdul-Amir Qabalan, and to the family of the deceased and the dear Shiite community.

“As we join you in praying for his soul to rest in peace, we recall his good relationship and affection towards the patriarchal seat and the patriarch, and affirm that he was of spiritual and national added value…May the Lord compensate us with the likes of him for the good of Lebanon and the protection of the authenticity of coexistence, the source of its unity, its message and the goodness of its living in the spirit of human brotherhood,” al-Rahi underlined.
