The Salt Of The Earth

Reflecting with Tony Nassrallah on Jesus’ words: “You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). Tony Nassrallah is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Lebanese American University. He served for ten years as curator and archivist of the Charles Malik Collection at Notre Dame University in Lebanon. He is also a subdeacon in the Orthodox Church. In the ancient world, salt was essential. Before refrigeration, it preserved food from decay, gave flavor to what was bland, purified what was corrupted, and even healed wounds. In Scripture, salt also symbolized covenant, faithfulness, and permanence.In this episode, we explore more deeply what it means to be “salt of the earth,” why Jesus uses this image for His disciples, and how this calling remains alive and relevant in our daily lives today.

The Mystery Of Mass

Reflecting with Fr. Marwan Khoury, Lebanese Maronite Marian monk, on the Mystery of the Holy Mass. ✨ For many, the Mass can feel repetitive. Some may even admit that they get bored during Mass. But do we truly understand what is taking place before our eyes?Saints like Padre Pio and St. Faustina were given extraordinary glimpses into the mystery unfolding on the altar, and what they witnessed transformed the way they lived the Eucharist.In this episode, Fr. Marwan helps us discover: •Why the Mass is the greatest gift Christ left us. •What the saints saw beyond what our eyes can see. •Whether distraction and boredom can have a spiritual dimension. •How to care for and recharge our souls, just as intentionally as we care for our bodies. As Padre Pio famously said:“It would be easier for the world to live without the sun than without the Holy Mass.” May this conversation help us rediscover the Eucharist—not as a routine, but as the place where heaven touches earth.🎙️ Welcome to Bible Bites. Let’s enter together into the mystery of the Mass. ✝️ Powered by Podeo — Listen to this episode

Waiting on The Lord

Reflecting with Père Antoine Assaf on the theme of “Waiting”—Waiting on the Lord. Père Antoine Assaf is a Maronite priest of the Archdiocese of Beirut, serving at St. Elie Church in Kantari. He previously taught theology at several universities and continues to share his deep love for the faith through his pastoral ministry and teaching. Waiting is never easy. And yet, waiting can be beautiful—it deepens our longing and helps us recognize the value of what is to come. But the deeper question remains: What are we waiting for? And who are we waiting for? And perhaps even more confronting: are we truly waiting for the Lord—or is it the Lord who is waiting for us? Powered by Podeo — Listen to this episode

Love As I Have Loved You

In this episode of Bible Bites, we reflect on one of Jesus' most powerful teachings: "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another." Together with Elie Eid, we explore the meaning of the New Commandment that Jesus gave His disciples during the Last Supper. What makes this commandment new? And what does it truly mean to love as Christ loved us? Elie Eid is a Lebanese novelist and Maronite Catholic whose work explores faith, theology, meaning, and the complexities of the human heart. For more than six years, he has been writing an ambitious multi-volume novel—currently spanning three books—that uses layered characters, moral tensions, and deeply human stories to explore love, hope, suffering, redemption, and the search for meaning. Alongside his fiction, Elie shares accessible reflections on Christian thought and the profound questions that shape how we understand reality and live within it. Join us as we discover the true meaning of love, how Christ loves each one of us, and how He calls us to love one another with the same self-giving love."By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35) Powered by Podeo — Listen to this episode
