From Dr. Maria C. Khoury
Latin Patriarchate Schools of Jerusalem

As we hear about the tragic attacks happening in America this week, on behalf of the children and the teachers in the Latin Patriarchate Schools of Jerusalem, whom I have worked with very closely the last two years, we send our fervent prayers for peace in America and in our world. We pray these attacks against humanity will stop and the Grace of the Holy Spirit will guide our lives. We pray that innocent people will stop being killed and hurt regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, color and/or religion. We are deeply saddened in Palestine when others in the world experience the terror, fear and bombs that overshadow are lives everyday. We pray for peace.

As you, our American friends have shown us your solidarity, your support, your very kind emails, your compassion and your prayers during these dreadful and tragic eleven months of our Palestinian uprising, please know that many of us today have you in our prayers for peace and safety in America. “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.”
