Youssef Antoun Makhlouf was born on May 8, 1828 in Bekaa Kafra (North Lebanon) to Maronite parents, Antoun Zaarour Makhlouf and Brigitta Al Chidiac. He has two brothers, Hanna and Bashara, and two sisters Koun and Warda. Youssef had a Christian education that made him fond of prayer since his childhood
He inclined to monastic and ascetic life, following the example of his two uncles who were locked away in the silo of the monastery of St.
His father died on August 8, 1831 in Gherfin, a village near Amchit, while he was returning to his home after he had been working as slave labor for the Turkish army, so his mother raised him as an orphan. Then she married Lahoud Ibrahim, who became the priest of the parish, taking the name Abdul Ahad
Youssef studied the origins of the Arabic and Syriac languages at the village school. He was so pious, to the extent that his village people used to call him "the Saint."
He used to drive his little flock daily to the pasture, then he went to a cave, where he knelt before the image of the Virgin Mary and prayed. Thus, the cave became its prayer hall and its first hermitage, which later became a place of prayer and pilgrimage for the believers
His entry into the Lebanese Maronite Order
One morning in the year 1851, Yusef left his family and his village and went to the Monastery of Our Lady of Mayfouk with the intention of being intimidated, where he spent his first year of the initiation period, then to the Monastery of Saint Maroun - Annaya, where he joined the Lebanese Maronite Order, taking the name of Charbel, one of the martyrs of the Antiochian Church From the second century. On the first of November in the year 1853, he revealed his monastic vows in the monastery itself and was well-informed about the precise obligations of these vows: obedience, chastity and poverty
He completed his theological lessons in the monastery of Saint Cyprian and Justina, Kfifan Batroun, at the hands of his teacher, Saint Nemat Allah Kassab al-Hardini, who was a role model for monks and a vivid picture of the great saints in his private and public life
On July 23, 1859, Brother Charbel Makhlouf was ordained a priest in Bkerke by laying down the hand of the Triangle of Mercy, Bishop Youssef, the sick, Maronite Patriarchal Vicar.
His life in the Monastery of Saint Maroun - Annaya and in the Saint Peter Paul hermitage
Father Charbel lived in the Monastery of Saint Maron - Annaya for sixteen years, during which he obeyed his superiors, strictly observing his monastic law, and he was hard on himself by austerity and mortalities. He was stripped of
Everything is universal in this world, so that he may devote himself to serving his Lord and saving himself
At the beginning of the year 1875, God inspired Father Charbel to retire in the hermitage of Saint Peter and Paul in the Monastery of Saint Maron - Annaya, although the superiors usually did not allow retirement in the hermit easily. And while the main father was hesitating, a sign came from the sky in the form of the miracle of the lamp.
One night, Father Charbel asked the servant to fill the lamp with oil, and he filled it with water instead of oil. And the lamp was lit normally. This verse inaugurated the Book of Charbelian Wonders, and brought the day of the Ascension of the Habes closer to his coveted rite.
On February 15, 1875, Father Charbel moved permanently to the hermitage, where he was the example of a saint and a hermit, spending his time in silence, prayer, worship and manual labor in the field, and he would not leave the hermitage except by order of his superior
In it he followed the approach of the saints hermit fathers, kneeling on a plate of canes in front of the Eucharist, whispering to him and being drunk throughout the nights.
He spent twenty-three years in the hermit, dedicating himself to the service of his Lord, applying the law of hermits with precision and full awareness.
During his celebration of the Mass on December 16, 1898, he fell ill with a hemorrhagic disease, and entered into a conflict that lasted for eight days, during which he endured the pain of dying quietly, still in spite of the excruciating pain
In his dispute, Father Charbel did not leave, repeating the prayer that he could not complete in the Mass: “O father of truth, behold, your son is a sacrifice to your liking!
The spirit of Charbel flew, free, free, returning to the home of the Father, as the return of the dewdrop to the broadest heart, on December 24, 1898, on Christmas Eve. He was buried in the cemetery of Saint Maroun Monastery - Annaya
The strange light that shone from his grave
After his death, spiritual lights arose from the grave that caused the transfer of his body, which was filtering sweat and blood, into a special coffin, after the permission of the Maronite Patriarch, and he was placed in a new tomb, inside the monastery. At that, the crowds of pilgrims began to flock to seek his intercession, and God blessedز
