May Chidiac is a Lebanese journalist.
In Maarab, where memory is not merely recalled, but the covenant and the mission are renewed, former minister Dr. May Chidiac took part in the annual Mass for the Martyrs of the Lebanese Resistance, remembering martyrs who fell defending Lebanon, its freedom and sovereignty. The head of the Lebanese Forces party, Dr. Samir Geagea, stressed on the occasion that the martyrs’ sacrifices were not a defense of a passing moment, but of the Lebanon in which we believe: a free homeland, rooted in its identity, confident in its future, and holding fast to its right to self-determination. From Maarab, and at the “Dawn of Sovereignty,” the covenant is renewed: We will not compromise on Lebanon, we will not forget its martyrs, and we will not retreat from its right to a fully sovereign state, free in its decisions, protecting its people, safeguarding its borders, and putting Lebanon’s interests above every consideration. Glory and eternal remembrance to our righteous martyrs.
Translated from ArabicFormer Minister Dr. May Chidiac attended the 16th Mass Wedding Ceremony, organized by the Maronite League’s Committee for Social Affairs and Internal Activities, under the patronage of His Beatitude and Eminence Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi, at Bkerke, in her capacity as a member of the Political Committee of the Maronite League. At a time when challenges abound, marriage and family remain an act of faith and a commitment to staying rooted. This initiative reaffirms that holding on to our land, building our families, and raising a responsible generation in Lebanon are among the most meaningful ways to preserve our presence and our mission. Lebanon is not a place we simply leave behind; it is the homeland to which we belong, where we remain, and whose future we are called to build.
