His Eminence's Speech on the Occasion of Holding a Convention in America on 30/06/2009

2009-06-30

Addressed to our immigrated sons, 

            It is such an evolving expectation for us to hold your convention as we promise every year. Your meeting has become a dwelling and an intimacy in the hearts of every resident and immigrant. It is but the yield of your endeavor, the praise of persistence and the sincerity of work for the sake of reuniting and opening skies of acquaintance, cooperation and communication among all Druze all over the world. We fully recognize the challenges we are facing, and we know the extent of the heavy burden hurled on the shoulders of whoever takes the initiative to serve the duty of general services, and courageously bear the responsibility in a pleasant sense of chivalry and jealousy towards the group, its interests and its prosperous future.  

            By the virtue of effort unity and leadership wisdom, we have put in your mother country Lebanon, the solid inclusive organization bases. We work in continuous persistence and prompt attempts with a lot of candid people to strengthen the integrated team work construction. We work hard to set up common surveys and unify the means leading to establish the desired renaissance. That’s why, before the eyes of visions and insights, we are all faithfully looking forward to establish a target unity, to pursuit it with the power of collaboration and harmony, and to rebuild mutual bridges on solid bases to which we are accustomed due to the good ancestor’s teachings, wisdom, and advices without surpassing or transcending into religion principles and the path to how it is guided. 

            Your annual convention is a memorable occasion to found what we call for. We are confident that our endeavors, which are joined by the purity of intentions and distanced by space, will unite in the future that we desire as for the tree of goodness to meet its roots stretched underground. This is precisely the matter that would reveal before us the doors of conciliations.  

            Our wishes are for your convention to be crowned with righteousness and success for the good of our community and the continuity of its progress to fit with honor and pride. We ask the Almighty to inspire us with His righteousness and salvation as He revealed: “Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.”
