In case anyone is interested, I have been informed that the Maronite Synod is scheduled to sit in conclave beginning at 6pm (Beirut time) on 9 March to elect a successor to Mar Nasrallah (Sfeir) whose resignation was formally accepted last week.

As is usual, there are several names being bandied about as possible successors. I will reserve further comment, but of course I do have my preference.

Please pray that the bishops find the inspiration to choose a worthy candidate as the next (I believe he will be the 77th) Maronite Patriarch.
 
I shall pray for the Maronite Synod and Church. God bless all the Eastern Catholic Rites! One of the great joys of being Catholic!
 
God bless the good Patriarch, Mar Nasrallah. May his successor prove a wise and able servant of God and shepherd of the Maronite Church. My prayers are with the Synod.
