I denounce this type of attack and urge people to remain calm," said Archbishop
Mor Yostinos Paulos Safar Safar, who hails from neighboring Syria and is bishop
of Zahle, a mainly Christian town about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the
capital Beirut.

Archbishop, Mor Yostinos, who inspected the damage accused "faithless people" of
being behind the blast. "The explosion targets Lebanon and
its security stability." He said he planned to hold Sunday mass at the church
despite the attack.

Lord, have mercy. 
Let us hope and pray that this isn't the first in a series of attacks.
