Lebanese Visionary, Patriarch Estephan Douaihy, Beatified on August 2nd | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Known as the Lebanese visionary of the liturgy, Patriarch Estephan El Douaihy was a remarkable figure who overcame incredible obstacles in his life. At the young age of 11, he was sent to Rome to study philosophy and theology, but his life took a dramatic turn just 3 years later. Because of intense studying, Patriarch Estephan became almost completely blind. Yet through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, he miraculously regained his vision. Later he returned to Lebanon and at the age of 40 he was elected as the patriarchate of the Maronite Church. On his birthday, August 2nd, the Venerable Patriarch was beatified.
