They have been wrongfully convicted for the murder of a man from Beirut in the monastery of Remle. They have tried to free themselves from prison many times, by appealing to the late Patriarch Ierotheos, and offering him their house in Remle as a waqf, asking to borrow some money in return, but their request wasn't approved. At the end, they were forced to go to the Latins, who lent them money and took them out of prison. Now their conscience doesn't allow them to confess and receice the Holy Communion from the Latins, they are appealing to His Beatitude to: a) be accepted as two souls who strayed from the correct path, b) accept their house in Remle as a waqf of the Patriarchate forever, c) notify the Latins that He will pay for their debt, and act as their guarantor. They will pay off their debt to His Beatitude.
