Beirut (dpa) - Pope Benedict XVI departed Sunday from Lebanon after a three-day visit during which he called for a peaceful coexistence in the Middle East.

The pope, who departed on board Lebanese national carrier Middle East Airlines, was waved off by Lebanon‘s Christian President Michel Suleiman and Sunni-Muslim Prime Minister Nagib Mikati. dpa wh hl

PRAISE GOD THAT POPE LEFT LEBANON UNHARMED!
