Youssef Antoun Makhlouf was born in 1828, in Bekaa Kafra (North Lebanon). He had a true Christian upbringing, which had given him a passion for prayer. Then he followed his two hermit uncles in the hermitage of the St Antonious Kozhaya monastery and was converted to monastic and hermetical life.

In 1851, he left his family village and headed for the Our Lady of Maifouk monastery to spend his first monastic year, and then he went to the St Maron monastery in Annaya, where he entered the Maronite Order, carrying the name Charbel, a name of one of the Antioch church martyrs of the second century. On November 1st. 1853, he exposed his ceremonial vows in St Maron’s monastery - Annaya. Then he completed his theological studies in the St Kobrianous and Justina monastery in Kfifan, Batroun.

He was ordained a priest in Bkerky, the Maronite Patriarchate, on July 23rd, 1859. He lived 16 years in the St Maron's monastery – Annaya. From there, he entered, on February 15th, 1875, the St Peter & Paul hermitage, which belongs to the monastery. He was a typical saint and hermit, who spent his time praying and worshipping. Rarely had he left the hermitage where he followed the way of the saintly hermits in prayers, life and practice.

St Charbel lived in the hermitage for 23 years. On December 16th, 1898 he was struck with an illness while performing the holy mass. He died on Christmas' eve, December 24th, 1898, and was buried in the St Maron monastery cemetery in Annaya.

Few months later, dazzling lights were seen around the grave. From there, his corpse, which had been secreting sweat and blood, was transferred into a special coffin. Hordes of pilgrims started swarming the place to get his intercession. And through this intercession, God blessed many people with recovery and spiritual graces.

In 1925, his beatification and canonization were proposed for declaration by Pope Pious XI. In 1950, the grave was opened in the presence of an official committee which included doctors who verified the soundness of the body. After the grave had been opened and inspected, the variety of healing incidents amazingly multiplied. A multitude of pilgrims from different religious facets started flocking to the Annaya monastery to get the saint's intercession.

Prodigies reached beyond the Lebanese borders. This unique phenomenon caused a moral revolution, the return to faith and the reviving of the virtues of the soul.

For God, the beginning of creation and the end of the universe happen together in the present. If you sanctify the present moment of your life through love, you will realize the mystery of eternity. Through love man dwells eternally in God.

WILLIAM KAMM Little Pebble

LITTLE PEBBLE William Kamm has been arrested AGAIN!

11 March 2024

William Kamm and his wife have been arrested over previous sex offences. The police raided his cult headquarters in Bangalee, NSW and will be charging the couple for allegedly grooming a girl from the age of 6 into adulthood. Even when he was in prison he was in contact with the young woman and sending her gifts.

            Kamm is the leader of the Order of St Charbel - a somewhat Catholic movement, he portrays himself as a prophet and tells his followers that the Virgin Mary sends him messages. One of these messages is that he must take numerous wives to re-populate the earth. Kamm has continued to groom, manipulate, assault and rape underage girls. He preys on his follower’s young daughters by writing them letters and telling them that the Virgin Mary wants them to have sex with him and to become his wife.

            In 1994, he drove a 14-year-old girl to a hotel, at the hotel he came onto her and she refused his advances which resulted in him becoming angry with her. He scolded her and told her mother that her ‘daughter refused’ him. Her mother told her to do whatever he wanted to do to her as it was ‘God’s will’. A month later he took the daughter to the hotel to rape her. He also preyed on a follower’s young daughter; he would pick her up after college and would sexually assault her on the way home. His letters and diaries contained evidence of these crimes.

            Kamm was found guilty in 2005 of rape and assault and was released in 2015; his followers remained faithful to him. His supervision order ended in 2021 and he was able to return to his cult headquarters. He wasn’t permitted any contact with anybody under the age of 18. After his released, Kamm, aged 71 was put behind bars once again for contacting teenage girls on social media and was using his wife’s Facebook account to send them messages. In 2022, after pleading guilty he was released after spending one year behind bars.

SAINT OF THE DAY (July 24)

On July 24, the Catholic Church celebrates the life of St. Charbel Makhlouf, a Maronite Catholic priest, monk, and hermit who is known for working miracles both during his life and after his death.

On the occasion of his beatification in 1965, the Eastern Catholic hermit was described by Pope Paul VI as “a new, eminent member of monastic sanctity who, through his example and his intercession, is enriching the entire Christian people.”

Born into humble circumstances in Lebanon on 8 May 1828, Yussef Antoun Makhlouf was the youngest of Antoun Zaarour Makhlouf and Brigitta Elias al-Shediyaq's five children.

Antoun, who had been taken away from the family and forced into hard labor, died when his youngest son was only three.

Yussef studied at the parish school and tended to his family's cow.

Engaged in prayer and solitude from a early age, he spent a great deal of time outdoors in the fields and pastures near his village, contemplating God amid the inspiring views of Lebanon's valleys and mountains.

His uncle and guardian Tanious wanted the boy to continue working with him, while his mother wanted him to marry a young woman.

Yussef had other plans, however, and left home in 1851 without informing anyone.

Yussef would become “Brother Charbel,” after making a pilgrimage on foot to his new monastic home.

In this, he followed the example of his maternal uncles, who were already living as solitary monks at the Hermitage of Saint Paul in the Qadisha Valley.

Charbel took his monastic vows in November of 1853, during a solemn ceremony that was closed to the public and off-limits even to his family.

He subsequently studied for the priesthood and was ordained, returning to the Monastery of St. Maron.

The priest-monk lived and served in the monastery for 19 years, showing great devotion to the life of prayer, manual work, and contemplative silence.

Charbel's superiors observed God's “supernatural power” at work in his life, and he became known as a wonder-worker even among some Muslims.

In 1875, he was granted permission to live as a solitary monk in a nearby hermitage dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.

Rigorous asceticism and a profound union with God continued to characterise the monk's life for the next 23 years.

Deeply devoted to God's Eucharistic presence, he suffered a stroke while celebrating the Divine Liturgy of the Maronite Catholic Church on 16 December 1898. He died on Christmas Eve of that year.

St. Charbel's tomb has been a site for pilgrimages since his death. Hundreds of miracles are believed to have occurred through his intercession with God, both in Lebanon and around the world.

Pope Paul VI beatified him on 5 December 1965 and canonised on 9 October 1977.

Please pray for my uncle, friends, he suffers terribly. He was on an anti-psychotic medication that lead to him developing a case of almost unmanageable diabetes – he risks having to amputate both legs. I’ve asked St. Charbel for his intercession, I would be so grateful if you could do the same.
