” “"We believe in the force of prayer adds mgr. Twal, with reference to the signs of dialogue that are showing up over these weeks in the Middle East . We entrust this time to the Lord and confide in the political leaders of this Earth, as well as to the international ones, and we ask them to be braver and less fearful and above all to trust each other. Mutual trust is essential to build sound relationships". "We must not forget he goes on that there are people and groups who do not want peace. We hope goodwill will prevail for everyone’s good, security and peace. This is a gift for everyone. Then it’s urgent to encourage ad support the moderate ones because the more they are helped, the weaker the extremists will be". Finally, mgr. Twal exhorts "to speak up" about all the good that is in the Middle East: "the Patriarchate also covers Jordan where many Christians live and where there are also schools and educational centres that work for tolerance and peaceful cohabitation".
