HOLY LAND: PATRIARCH SABBAH PRAISES PRESIDENT PERES’S VIEW OF MAN (2)

” ” ” “The country, Israel, celebrates this year and in these days, 60 years after its independence and is still waiting for peace. Palestine celebrates the same date of a memory of defeat and is still waiting for peace. The expectation is the same and inhabits everyone’s hearts. The President of the State of Israel, Peres – stated the Patriarch in his homily, revealed today –, in his speech on Independence Day, spoke of the human being created in the image of God, every person, whether Palestinian or Israeli. We thank God for this view that he has as the head of a nation in a state of conflict. Let’s pray for this view to grow and fill the hearts of the leaders of both peoples.” “
