The Vicar of the Custody of the Holy Land asked for prayers on behalf of the millions of innocent people living in the region who are afraid for their lives as well as the lives of their loved ones due to an intensifying conflict on September 2.

A missile strike killed Pat Nibin Maxwell and wounded Paul Melvin and Bush Joseph George, all were from the Southern Indian State of Kerala and worked in an orchard near the Israeli-Lebanese border in north Israel's Margaliot.

“Let us not forget the people who suffer the evil of war," said Pope Francis.

Since the Israeli raids on October 7, 2023, there have been over 770 deaths reported throughout Gaza, and more than 4,000 injuries.

“Please stop the attacks and the weapons and understand that terrorism and war do not lead to any solution, but only to the death and suffering of so many innocent people,” Pope Francis was cited by the Vatican News.

In this session we will take a look on snapshops on the land of Jesus in our time and do some reflections.
