A good part of the Lebanese community in London came together at St Columba's Church in Knightsbridge to thank God for Basil's survival and to pray for his recovery. The service was led with humanity and dignity by the Rev. Nabil Shehadi, with readings from friends of Basil. The Reverend also led prayers for former Prime Minister Hariri and others who died in the explosion, for the injured and bereaved, as well as for Lebanon.

Cher Basil
nous continuons a prier pour ta guerison,et dans chaque bougie qu'on allume il y a la foi,l'espoir et le refus de baisser les bras...

It's amazing how far and wide Basel has touched the world. I was sad to miss the prayer vigil in my hometown of Washington DC because I happened to be attending a wedding in London. It was a small miracle to find out that this gathering was taking place around the corner from my hotel. Thanks to the community in London for putting together this sevice; I was so fortunate to be a part of it.
Prayers of comfort and healing for Basel and his family. May the world's love for Basel help carry them through.

Hi dearest Basil & Yasma,
The prayers for your recovery Basil, made by a huge gathering last Sunday, crowded in this lovely Ain Zhalta church and village (which I discovered for the first time), and the people assembled there, were most moving. Certainly, the fervour and faith shown will achieve its purpose...
Next day, yesterday, was a memorable day after a full night vigil, and you would have been proud of your fellow citizens and your friends in Parliament...They took courageously the first major step, of so many others to come, for the full recovery of your beloved country...New leaders from the very top hopefully, to lesser levels, are now to fulfill, over time and with renewed dedication, the legitimate aspirations of your countrymen. You Basil, are one of the most prominent and promissing leaders and we all await your prompt recovery also, for a safe return among us.
Bless you both, and your family
Nicolas
