"We feel in a prison with no roof, but we trust Jesus and remain here for Him". This account was given to the youth of the Mediterranean Agora (in pilgrimage to the Holy Land from 14 April, and coming back today), by Charlie Abu Saada, Melkite Christian, together with Dani, Samer and others, who collaborate with the newspaper directed by him. Charlie is in charge of the project "Juthouruna" ("our roots", in Arabian), from which at least three interesting entities were born: the newspaper with the same name, the only one in Arabian in the Holy Land, directed by young Christians; the site www.juthouruna.com, which may be consulted in various languages including Italian; and a programme on Radio Mawal, weekly involving young people in recounting the life and the culture of the Christians in the Middle East. The Italians, accompanied by Sister Stefana Bral from the John Paul II Centre of Loreto and Father Alessandro Amapani, vice director of the Youth Pastoral National Office of CEI, brought Charlie and his community a letter from the archbishop of Loreto, Msgr. Giovanni Tonucci, in which the religious expressed his hope that the "young people coming from Bethlehem" may participate in the next meeting of Mediterranean Agora, taking place in Loreto from 1st to 8th September, for "they may enrich us with their accounts of life and faith".
