Shlomo Akhi:
I would love it! As a matter of fact, I have been thinking about it. Here we still have many libanese people (or descendants from them). In my first parish a had many of them (old people). I have even learned some phrases in arabic and even to pray with them the "Abana al fy al smawed" and other prayers when I took them the Holy Communion... Sometimes I sing the Consecration Words in Aramaic in the Mass (I learned that from a friend of mine in Madrid, while I was studying there two years ago).
I suppose I have to have the permission of my Bishop and to contact some Maronite Bishop...
So... Let's pray for it!
