Your prayers

Dear friends, 

for some time now, our christian communities in the Holy Land have been the target of some hostile and vile attacks. 

This very morning again, around 8:30, one of the chapels in the Franciscan Convent of the Flagellation where I live (the Chapel of the Condemnation that some of you have visited) was ruthlessly vandalized. And this shocking act is just the last of a long series. 

You have supported us many times with your generosity and your donations, this time we kindly ask you to support and accompany us with your prayers. 

May the Lord who gives us strength to endure persecutions appease the resentment and hatred against Him and his communities and kindle in those who attack Him and us a spirit of love and mutual respect.
