A week dedicated to mental health, well-being, and the power of hope has officially begun at UA. 🌱

The fifth Wellness and Mental Health Week opened in the presence of representatives from the Ministry of Public Health and UNESCO, alongside students, University leadership, representatives of national and international institutions, health professionals, speakers, artists, and members of the wider community.

Through stories, student voices, art, medicine, spirituality, and meaningful conversations between the mind and heart, the Official Ceremony explored hope as something we actively practice: in moving forward, asking for help, supporting others, and creating space for healing and growth.

Throughout the ceremony, a puzzle wall gradually transformed words such as fear, stress, doubt, and pressure into healing, clarity, strength, confidence, joy, and new beginnings, bringing one message to life: “When mind and heart unite, hope blooms.”

And this was only the beginning. 💚

On September 26, the Maqām Festival Ensemble presented “Dell’Amore divino” at the 81st Sagra Musicale Umbra in Italy, bringing Christian and Islamic spiritual poetry into dialogue through the language of maqām music.

The work was composed and conducted by Prof. Nidaa Abou Mrad, Dean of UA’s Faculty of Music and Musicology, who also performed on violin, alongside Rafka Rizk on vocals and riq and Dr. Ghassan Sahhab on qānūn.

From Perugia, the journey now continues to Lebanon.

من أجواء النسخة الخامسة عشرة من "إسم عَلَم"، نعود بالصورة والصوت إلى لقاءٍ احتفت فيه الجامعة الأنطونيّة بالكاتب والمؤرّخ والمفكّر فوّاز طرابلسي، بمناسبة صدور كتاب "فوّاز طرابلسي: كتابةُ الشغَف والشغَب" عن منشورات الجامعة الأنطونيّة.

لحظاتٌ من اللقاء، ومقتطفاتٌ من حواراتٍ وشهادات، ووجوهٌ اجتمعت حول تجربةٍ فكريّة لا تزال تثير الأسئلة وتفتح أبواب النقاش.

حين تلتقي موسيقى المقام بالإنشاد والنصوص الروحيّة، تصبح الموسيقى مساحةً للتأمّل، والرجاء، والمحبّة الإلهيّة. ✨

ضمن أسبوع الراحة والصحّة النفسيّة ٢٠٢٦، تدعوكم الجامعة الأنطونيّة إلى "حفل سماع مقاميّ صوفيّ في العشق الإلهيّ"، من تلحين نداء أبو مراد، يؤدّيه تخت الجامعة الأنطونيّة للموسيقى الفصحى العربيّة، وتلتقي فيه نصوص من التراثين المسيحي والإسلامي ضمن تجربة موسيقيّة قائمة على الموسيقى المقاميّة المشرقيّة، إنشادًا وعزفًا.

مساحة يلتقي فيها الإيمان والثقافة، ويتحوّل فيها الحوار إلى تناغم يجمع العقل والقلب.

As part of Wellness and Mental Health Week 2026, Antonine University invites you to experience “The Levantine Oratorio of Divine Love and Hope,” composed by Nidaa Abou Mrad and performed by the Antonine University Ensemble of Classical Arabic Music.

Rooted in the Maqām art music tradition of the Mašriq, the Oratorio brings Christian and Islamic spiritual traditions into dialogue through vocal and instrumental compositions and improvisations, creating a shared moment of contemplation where faith, hope, and Divine Love resonate in both heart and mind.

اجتمعت أسرة الجامعة الأنطونيّة في كنيسة سيّدة الزروع في حرم الحدت–بعبدا، لتفتتح العام الأكاديميّ ٢٠٢٦–٢٠٢٧ بالصلاة، وتضع السنة الجديدة بين يدي الله، مستعيدةً الأسس الروحيّة التي تمنح التعلّم والخدمة والحياة الجامعيّة معناها الأعمق.

ترأّس القدّاس الإلهي الأباتي جوزف بو رعد، الرئيس العامّ للرهبانيّة الأنطونيّة المارونيّة وراعي الجامعة، وعاونه في الخدمة الإلهيّة رئيس الجامعة الأب ميشال السغبيني والقيِّم الأب جو بو جودة، بحضور الآباء المدبّرين، والعمداء، ورؤساء الأقسام، وأفراد الهيئتين التعليميّة والإداريّة، والطلّاب.

وفي عظته، انطلق الأباتي بو رعد من نشيد المحبّة للقدّيس بولس، متوقّفًا عند الصبر بوصفه وجهًا من وجوه المحبّة: أن نمنح الآخر الوقت الذي يحتاج إليه، وأن نرافقه في مسيرة نموّه. فالمحبّة تدعونا إلى أن نرى في الآخر نافذةً نطلّ منها على عالمٍ يتجاوز ذواتنا، لا مرآةً نبحث فيها عن انعكاس أنفسنا.

ومن إنجيل تلميذَي عمّاوس، استحضر صورة المسيح الذي سار معهما، وأصغى إليهما، ورافقهما على الطريق قبل أن يعرفاه.

ومن طريق عمّاوس إلى طريق التعلّم، تتجلّى التربية فعلَ مرافقة: أن يسير المعلّم إلى جانب الطالب، لا أن يمنحه الأجوبة منذ البداية؛ أن يرافق أسئلته وتحوّلاته، وأن يفرح بنموّه.

وفي قلب هذه الرسالة، حضرت كلمة "معًا": معًا في التعليم والتعلّم، في المرافقة والنموّ، وفي نجاحٍ لا يُقاس بما ينجزه الفرد وحده، بل بما نستطيع أن نبنيه ونحقّقه بعضنا مع بعض.

بهذه الروح، تبدأ الجامعة الأنطونيّة عامًا جديدًا، متجذّرةً في هويّتها الكاثوليكيّة ورسالتها في التنشئة والنموّ الإنسانيّ المتكامل؛ لتبقى جماعةً لا تكتفي بنقل المعرفة، بل ترافق الإنسان في مسيرته، في علاقته بالله وبالآخر.
