His Beatitude Mar Narsai De Baz - News Update

2010-02-14



It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that we regret to announce the falling asleep in the Lord of His Beatitude Mar Narsai DeBaz, Metropolitan of Lebanon, Syria and Europe of the Assyrian Church of the East. His Beatitude was called to his heavenly home by the Lord at 3:00 pm Pacific Time, in the healthcare facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was hospitalized for the past week and a half. The late Metropolitan had received the precious Body and Blood of our Lord (Qurbana Qadisha) and Khusaya, as heard the reading of the Sacred Scriptures a few hours before his passing. He was solaced by the prayers of His Holiness Mar Dinkha IV and brother prelates present in Phoenix and globally, as well as the prayers of all the faithful and the presence of his family members. The funeral will be conducted at Mar Gewargis Cathedral, Chicago, Illinois (USA) at a date and time that will be announced in the very near future. We ask that you kindly pray for the repose of the soul of the late Metropolitan.

May he rest in peace

John 11:25  "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26  Whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
 
Is there a replacement at this point and who will it be? what about funeral arrangements?

Thanks AB. The reason I asked, I had heard conflicting reports as to whether it will be done here or back in Lebanon.
