God, infinitely Holy and glorified in Your saints, You inspired the holy monk and hermit St. Charbel to live and die in a perfect likeness to Jesus. You gave him the strength to detach from the world in order to live fully, in his hermitage, the monastic virtues of poverty, obedience, and chastity.

We beg You to grant us the grace to love You and serve You as he did.

(State your specific request or intention here…)

Lord Almighty, who has demonstrated the power of the intercession of St. Charbel by many miracles and favors, grant our volunteers the grace of living a beautiful mission and returning home firm in faith, filled with fiery charity. We beseech You by his intercession.

St. Charbel, pray for us.

Say one Our Father...
Say one Hail Mary...
Say one Glory Be...

St. Charbel is widely believed to possess healing powers for both physical ailments and spiritual afflictions. While he lived in the 19th century, his miraculous intercession continues today.

• The Healing of the Blind: In 2016, a blind woman was healed after venerating the relics of St. Charbel. Her sight was restored with no medical explanation.
• The Miracle of the Oil: A family in France prayed a novena to St. Charbel and used holy oil from his tomb for their baby, who had a severe diagnosis. The child was miraculously healed.

These stories inspire people around the world to turn to him when facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles or health challenges.

St. Charbel Makhlouf was a Lebanese Catholic monk and hermit revered for his profound spirituality and asceticism.

At a young age, he showed a strong inclination toward solitude, eventually entering the Lebanese Maronite Order. He spent most of his life in the Monastery of St. Maron in Annaya, Lebanon, devoting himself to deep prayer, penance, and contemplation of God.

Because he lived a life of such perfect detachment from the world, he is seen as a powerful spiritual guide. Today, his monastery in Annaya remains a major site of pilgrimage, where the faithful seek a deeper connection with God and intercession for healing.
