I would like to begin by pointing out that my intention in writing this work is the cry of a servant of God, Saint Charbel Makhlouf, and his devotee to try to make man a better man, sensitive, just, generous, benevolent, more attached to spiritual than material values, happy to give than to receive, to know how to reap the spiritual fruits existing in the depths of the soul of each human being. I am convinced that my dear reader will appreciate this book, with great faith, in order to reveal not only the life of Saint Charbel, but also the desire to practice what he taught in order to obtain divine grace. Devotion to Saint Charbel is the right way to find peace, the way reserved by God in the soul of every human being called to be holy and for the bad moments he goes through in his earthly existence. Saint Charbel is a life lesson for all generations, because he presents material wealth as the exclusive fruit of greed and oppression and as the path of affliction, vice, unhappiness: he enslaves, corrupts, hardens, unhappy. On the other hand, poverty is invariably synonymous with goodness, freedom, virtue, honesty, happiness. He was like Christ, the first to exalt the poor and to belittle the rich. Following the example of Christ, "he lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said to them, 'Blessed are you poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. But woe to you, the rich!" (Saint Luke, 6:20 and 24).
