In the Holy Land, the holiest of places, where Christ walked, once again there is war. Pope Francis appealed for peace and an end to the hostilities. But it's a tinderbox. Pope Francis called for an immediate cease fire but is anyone listening, anyone with the power to stop this continuing madness on sacred ground?
They blame each other, and yet in reality all parties are to blame. Who started this latest escalation? Read the news reports and you can ascertain the truth. But no one wants the blame. And yet innocent children, who have done nothing but try to live in this uncertain world, get caught in the insanity and are dead. Truly horrific.
We pray for peace on earth. We pray that there can be a solution in this part of the world. Many proposals have been made over the years and yet there is still no peace, no real action to promote lasting and sustainable peace. It can happen, of course peace is possible, but there is no will to end this madness, once and for all.
Why is lasting peace so elusive in the holiest of places, in a land revered by Christians, Jews and Muslims?.....Consecrated ground, it's terrible that even there, peace cannot endure.
