I see Saint Charbel, who has come to us with Saint Rafka and Saint Nimatullah al-Hardini. They all appear enveloped in a beautiful golden light. Saint Rafka is holding something like an orchid (personal note: My research revealed that it is an Anacamptis sancta with white flowers, native to the Holy Land and Lebanon) in her hand, and Saint Nimatullah al-Hardini is holding a golden cross in his hands. Saint Charbel is carrying the Holy Scriptures, the Vulgate. Saint Charbel comes closer to us; it grows warm, and I smell a fragrant oriental scent, an oily scent. Saint Charbel speaks:
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!" You are beloved of Jesus, and you are living through tribulation! Look to Jesus and do not look at what must happen during the tribulation so that all may be purified. Did Jesus not say, as the Holy Scriptures testify: ‘Remember Lot’s wife?’ And He spoke to His own about this time in which you now live, which you are experiencing.
This is the time of the Church’s final trial and the time when the Diabolos is trying to destroy families, the cornerstones of the Church. But what about Lot’s wife? Lot and his family lived in a sinful world. Lot himself was among the righteous, and behold, angels visited him and prepared him, so that he and his family might leave that city. Thus, the judgment was to pass him and his family by; yet his family had already been influenced by that sinful city, and even the city’s inhabitants sought to assault the angels.
Lot’s sons-in-law laughed at him, and his daughters had already been deeply influenced by sin—by the way of life that prevailed in that city. Lot took his wife and daughters, and the angels led them away. Lot’s wife, however, clung to her old life—to the transitory things—and was torn in her heart. Therefore, do not set your sights on the transitory; look to Jesus and love Him with all your heart! It is important that, in this time when wickedness and sin are manifesting themselves so strongly, you sanctify yourselves and do not look back on your past life. Therefore, look to Jesus and not to the trends of the spirit of the age, which have even penetrated the church.
Lot’s wife looked back, and instead of being saved—of becoming the salt of the earth for God—she turned into a pillar of salt, into stone, and was lost. Beloved of Christ! Jesus died for you so that you may live in the Holy Sacraments; so that you may be reconciled with Him and have a pure heart; and thus love Him with all your heart. Jesus does not want you to be lost, and we pray fervently for you before the throne of Jesus! Pray for the steadfastness of your spiritual fathers, that they may live the virtues of love, forgiveness, and humility. So take courage to live these virtues as well! We wish to encourage you to live a holy life in everything you do.
Therefore, look to Jesus, look to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and look to us, who also love you very much, just as Jesus does, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary does!"
Saint Charbel is saying goodbye to his friends, and he says he will bless us later, together with the priest. I thank our heavenly friends with all my heart.

Personal note:
My research revealed: Turning to a pillar of salt, becoming stone, symbolizes clinging to the past. Fear, paralysis, rigidity, and looking back toward ruin. Instead of becoming the spice of life, one hardens into useless stone, devoid of life. Becoming the salt of the earth symbolizes the spice of life, strength, vitality, and thus preparing food with flavor; one could also say, having an impact on our society. Salt also has the power to preserve what is good (as with precious foods) and to safeguard it.
