A special Message from Father Kamal
To our sisters, brothers and all the faithful, we reiterate our gratitude for your love, charity and prayers. I am very thankful for our dear friends who think about us and pray for us, especially in this dark time in which we live.
What is going on these days contradicts God's will and humanity. Holy Land Christians are praying:
We pray that people from both sides stop their mutual hatred and stop shedding blood.
We pray for the international community to wake up and treat all sides equally.
We pray for the United Nations to respect its resolutions and find an end for this crisis.
We pray for peacemakers especially among Christian leaders of "great nations."
We pray for the powerful countries, to provide opportunities for peace and human rights, instead of increasing the destructive mechanisms of war.
We pray for the Israeli and the Palestinian victims, asking the Lord's forgiveness for our human atrocities.
We pray for the grieving families who lost their loved ones.
We pray for the liberation of all hostages and prisoners.
We pray for the needy families who lost their jobs or have been dismissed because they belong to the minority.
We pray for the students who were attacked by extremist groups and were forced to leave their campus.
All have sinned and need God's mercy. Lord, have Mercy!
The Peace of Christ the Lord be always yours....
Fr. Kamal

Ο Λόγος έγινε σάρκα και έκανε την κατοικία του ανάμεσά μας. Είδαμε τη δόξα του, τη δόξα του ενός και μοναδικού Υιού, ο οποίος ήρθε από τον πατέρα, γεμάτος χάρη και αλήθεια.

Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.
