It is extraordinary and heart-rending to see hostages returned to their families in Israel after their two-year ordeal in captivity. It is all so long overdue, and the world prays for sustained peace-building and continued healing in the region.

Our dialogue work with the local Jewish community already focuses on joint scripture study.

What could ‘a new direction’ in Catholic-Jewish relations look like? www.pillarcatholic.com/p/what-could...

Either we regain our moral and spiritual dignity or we fall into a cesspool. ~ Pope Leo, Dilexi te, 95

Pope Leo: “Lay down your sword is a message addressed to the powerful of this world, to those who guide the fate of peoples: have the courage to disarm! We must first disarm our hearts because unless we have peace within ourselves, we cannot give it to others.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

#Peace is unarmed and disarming. It is not deterrence, but fraternity; it is not an ultimatum, but dialogue. Peace will not come as the result of victories over the enemy, but as the fruit of sowing justice and courageous forgiveness.

Together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, let us persevere tirelessly in praying for peace, a God-given gift that we must strive to receive and to which we must make a strong commitment. #PrayTogether #Jubilee2025
