"Our political leaders are alone, with no God, in the city of God, they place the salvation of their peoples in their forces, relying on the number of soldiers, on hatred and extremism. The believers of Jerusalem, of all religions, can in silence and humbleness dispel their doubts and weaknesses and thus show them the ways of the life of this Holy Land and the region". It was said, in his homily at Pentecost Mass, in Jerusalem yesterday, by the Latin Patriarch Michael Sabbah, who also administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to a group of boys and girls. "We need brave men who are willing to give up their positions and maybe even their lives for the people who elected them to live stated the Patriarch . Only courage will find the solutions to the cruces of this long conflict between the inhabitants of this Earth". "The bent of the Church of Jerusalem he added with reference to the Pentecost is to turn this feast into an event that will change everyday life. Our bent as a small community is to say to our congregation ‘let’s love each other’. All the country needs the Spirit and a new life made of security, peace and justice. God told us to be brothers and sisters, and we can be".
