Gaza, the parish priest: The Pope call us, let’s continue to work for peace and justice

Antonella Paliermo – Vatican City

From Gaza comes the testimony of the parish priest in Sagrada Familia, Father Gabriel Romane, who confirms the proximity of Pope Francis to the exhausted population of the war. Two days ago, the priest, called the Pope again, from the house of Santa Marta, where the recovery period passes: “The Pope called, received, asked how we were going, and how people were.” Young people donated, thanking them for this new pain.

Thanks to the Pope for his proximity

Father Gabriel says: “People were very happy to know what they launched, when I called, we were at the door of the rectum, inside the box, children and young people began to scream alive in Arabic in Arabic, in the Italian language,” said Father Gabriel. The cleric said: “He sent his blessing, a prayer. She was brief but I was very appreciated.

Ending the war, for the sake of everyone

The parish priest confirms that the conditions in which the residents of the life of the tape “cannot be conceived”, as the Pope described it in the broadcast on Sunday, April 6. And it continues to invite the invitation so that the prayer does not stop: “Prayer is more than that in order for there to be any problem on the contrary, as it cannot be solved. Prayer and work for peace and justice. You have to put an end to this war as soon as possible. Here more than two million people live here. “

“We are in a cage”

Romanti explains that the Christian society proves, “Praise be to God and the continuous assistance of the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem,” regardless of the extent of these words in a context like this. “Along with 500 our Muslim refugees and neighbors in the Zeitoun neighborhood, the current time is fine despite the fact that everything begins in rare. In other neighborhoods, there is a lack of everything, food, water, and the existence of the crisis already before the war, and let us not say now, after a year and a half.

“We hope for those who really want peace.”

It is a real loan, a heavy cross, the person who lives in Gaza residents, who is trying to completely resign. “Yes, but we have help from the Lord, from the people of goodwill who really want peace.” The call, again, is prayer for peace and work for peace and justice. “To persuade everyone that this war must end. This is the first necessary step. Then giving hope that they can continue to live in the Gaza Strip without removing it.” “He still talks about 2.3 million people. In Gaza City before the war, we were one million thousand in the north, then during the war there were 400,000, when the fire began in the fire, it is estimated that at least 300,000 people left from south to north, and now it was not known …”

You cannot move people as if they were creatures

To the hypothesis that Gaza can become a tourist beach that pulls the resident residents, even if it is exhausted, Father Romanian replied to my father: “We must respect the right of every human being, regardless of their nationality, religion, and status.
