The echoes of the war experienced by Lebanon and the Holy Lands resonate across the world. From Sydney, Australia, which hosts a significant and active Lebanese Christian community, prayers were raised for peace in the places of suffering: the land of cedars and the homeland of Jesus.

Prayers were chanted during a service organized by the Maronite Diocese of Australia and Oceania at the Bishop's House in Strathfield, Sydney. The service was led by Bishop Antoine-Charbel Tarabay and was titled "Peace in Lebanon, the Holy Lands, and the World." The event was attended by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns and a crowd of official, religious, and faithful figures.

After the peace prayer in the church, Bishop Tarabay affirmed that "the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, converge on the concept of peace and its universal values; hence, it symbolizes the good relations that unite peoples and nations." He pointed out that "the meeting at the Maronite Bishop's House during these difficult times for Lebanon and the Middle East is to pray with one voice for peace.

Tarabay considered that "Lebanon has entered a great war not of its own making, as it is the war of others on its land," calling for an "immediate cessation of fire, killing, and destruction." He praised the "role of humanitarian and charitable organizations operating within the Maronite Diocese for their commitment and valuable initiatives to help the needy and displaced." He thanked the Australian government for "opening its doors to a number of displaced persons fleeing the tragic conditions imposed by the war.
