“Jerusalem is the heart, and the heart of the heart. Being away from it is imminent death at more than one level. It is spiritual, social, religious, national, and economic death. Jerusalem is not a problem, it is a solution to the problem. The time has come to turn the Holy City into an oasis of peace, reconciliation and a genuine gathering site for all its children and mankind.”

Father Rafiq Khoury
