We share the statement from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, concerned about the evolution of the situation, in solidarity with the Patriarch H.E. Card. Pizzaballa and with the parishioners of the Holy Family in Gaza.
We are the sons of St. Francis, and we are THE custodians, according to the will of God, of one of the places that Jesus loved the most: the garden called GETHSEMANE. This is a unique place in the world. It is the place where the Lord manifested his Yes forever by being ready to enter where nobody else had ever entered, where he plunged into darkness, in the final battle against death, in which humanity has always ended up being a loser.
