You who overwhelmed with your graces and inspirations, the heart of your servant Nimatullah Kassab Al-Hardini you filled him with a desire to follow you in the path of perfection and sanctity.
Thus he was in his example, the greatest encouragement for Saint Charbel and for many others who followed your path carrying your cross through which you saved the world.
In it and through your example they saved innumerable souls.
We ask you, Oh beloved redeemer, to inspire your vicar on earth to raise to the altars your upright and venerated son Nimatullah Kassab Al-Hardini so as to continue his mission from heaven, by enlightening the path of salvation for today's people who have forgotten you, the first and last desire of every creature made in your image and likeness.
Thus may your name be glorified in your saints and chosen ones.
You who live and reign in holiness forever.
Quotes of some of his sayings:
"The monk in his monastery
is a king in his castle, his government in his congregation, his soldiers
are his brothers, his glory is in his virtue and holiness, his crown is
his love of God and his congregation, his garland is his chastity and purity,
his weapons are his poverty, obedience and prayers and his garments are
his humility and meekness".
"The
intelligent one saves"
Kfifan 1996.
