POPE FRANCIS
How many Jewish, Christian and Muslim men and women have wept and still weep for Jerusalem. Even we are sometimes moved to tears thinking about the Holy City because it is like a mother whose heart finds no peace because of the suffering of her children.
At the end of the meeting, the group presented various gifts to the Pope. Like this book in Arabic about the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Or this one on the Holy Land during the pandemic. They also gave Pope Francis a ceramic tile celebrating the unity of the Church in Jerusalem and Rome as well as this crucifix.
