  • Pope Says Suffering Reveals Humanity Can Change People for the Better
    Pope says suffering reveals humanity can change people for the better AMMAN, Jordan – Pope Benedict XVI’s first stop in Jordan was at a church-run facility for people with disabilities, a place he said demonstrates how suffering can change people for the better. “Standing in your midst, I draw strength from God,” the pope told the clients of Amman’s Regina Pacis center, established in 2004 by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Arriving directly from the Amman airport May 8, the pope said that “in our own trials, and standing alongside others in their struggles, we glimpse the essence of our humanity; we become, as it were, more human.” “And we come to learn that, on another plane, even hearts hardened by cynicism or injustice or unwillingness to forgive are never beyond the reach of God,” because every heart “can always be opened to a new way of being, a vision of peace.” The center is operated by three Comboni Missionary Sisters and a team of teachers, therapists and volunteers to educate and care for Muslims and Christians with disabilities. With a particular mission to the poor, it provides vocational training, therapy and basic medical care free of charge. Satellite centers operate in six other Jordanian cities. The pope told the clients and workers, “At times it is difficult to find a reason for what appears only as an obstacle to be overcome or even as a pain – physical or emotional – to be endured. “Yet faith and understanding help us to see a horizon beyond our own selves in order to imagine life as God does.

  • The Courage to Achieve Peace in the Holy Land
    THE COURAGE TO ACHIEVE PEACE IN THE HOLY LAND: COMMUNIQUE OF THE COORDINATION OF EPISCOPAL CONFERENCES IN SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH IN THE HOLY LAND1 January 14, 2010 Jerusalem At our tenth meeting in the Holy Land, Patriarch Fouad Twal reflected on the pilgrimage of Pope Benedict XVI in May 2009. In union with our Holy Father we call for justice and peace for all of the peoples of this land. We make his departing appeal our own: No friend of the Israelis and the Palestinians can fail to be saddened by the continuing tension between your two peoples. No friend can fail to weep at the suffering and loss of life that both peoples have endured over the last six decades. Allow me to make this appeal to all the people of these lands: No more bloodshed! No more fighting! No more terrorism! No more war! Instead let us break the vicious circle of violence. Let there be lasting peace based on justice, let there be genuine reconciliation and healing. Let it be universally recognized that the State of Israel has the right to exist, and to enjoy peace and security within internationally agreed borders. Let it be likewise acknowledged that the Palestinian people have a right to a sovereign independent homeland, to live with dignity and to travel freely. Let the two-state solution become a reality, not remain a dream. And let peace spread outwards from these lands, let them serve as a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6), bringing hope to the many other regions that are affected by conflict.

  • Jerusalem Patriarch: Palestine U.N. Bid a Step Toward Two-State Solution
    Jerusalem patriarch: Palestine U.N. bid a step toward two-state solution BETHESDA – The Latin patriarch of Jerusalem said he hoped that an effort to grant full U.N. membership to Palestine would be a step toward eventual peace in the region, leading to the “two-state solution.” In a Sept. 20 interview in the suburban Washington offices of the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation, Patriarch Fouad Twal told Catholic News Service that “the question of full membership for Palestine does not mean the end of negotiations. On the contrary, they must continue negotiating and speaking to find a solution for everybody, peace for everybody and security for everybody.” Patriarch Twal, a Jordanian-born Palestinian, said that, in preaching about peace, he often says that it must be “peace for all the inhabitants, otherwise nobody can enjoy peace.” He and other Christian leaders, including Pope Benedict XVI, often cite a two-state solution as the desired path to peace. Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, which administers the West Bank, plans to submit a formal request for U.N. membership and Palestinian statehood Sept. 23 after he addresses the General Assembly. The Palestinian organization has been an observer entity at the U.N. since 1974, but that conveys no voting privileges. The bid for full membership is considered a step toward status as a sovereign nation, though it would not by itself create a Palestinian state. The effort is opposed by the United States, which will have a vote on the question in the U.N. Security Council. If that fails, the Palestinians may appeal directly to the General Assembly for status as a nonmember state observer, the same status held by the Holy See.

But assigning a certain number of women to leadership positions is “simply functionalism,” he said. What is important is to ensure that women have a voice and are listened to, he said, because the Church needs their specific contributions. “When we men are dealing with a problem, we arrive at a conclusion, but if Deacon Andrew Syberg smiles after being ordained a transitional deacon at the Archabbey Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln in St. Meinrad on we deal with the same problem along with April 26, 2014.
