THREE DAYS OF PRAYER IN HONOR OF ST. SHARBEL’S FEAST DAY

 

The three days were Thursday, July 20, Friday, July 21, and Saturday July 23 at 5:30 PM at St. Anthony.  At the conclusion of the devotion each evening we offered the relic of St. Sharbel for veneration and special blessing.

St. Sharbel is well known as a Saint of Miracles. At his Shrine/Monastery in Lebanon there is a wall with mail slots packed with testimonies from all over the world.  These letters come in thanksgiving for healings and miracles from people who are of the Catholic faith and from those who are not Catholic.   People of all ages tell their many amazing stories about the intercession of St. Sharbel.
 

The three days of prayer were devoted to praying for healing. The first day we prayed for spiritual healing, on the second day for emotional healing and the third day for physical healing.  Anyone could come any night and pray for any and all needs. 

We have a beautiful statue and outdoor Shrine to this great Saint of Lebanon.  We honored him in a very special way by a Triduum for his Feast Day and a blessing with his relic at the end of the St. Sharbel Feast Day's Liturgy.
