contribute to peace and to the construction of a society open and welcoming to
all of its different constituent parts. The Holy See also lends its efforts to
the building of a future of peace for a Syria in which everyone can live
freely and express
themselves in their own particular way.”
The Pope also directed his thoughts at the moment “to the Christian
communities who live in Syria and throughout the Middle East. The Church
supports the members of these communities who today find themselves in special
difficulty. These have
the great task of continuing to offer a Christian presence in the place where
they were born. And it is our task to ensure that this witness remain there.

entire Christian community to this important work of assistance and aid
is imperative at this time. Let us all, each of us, think of Syria. There is
so much suffering and poverty, so much pain of Jesus who suffers, who is poor,
who is forced out of his homeland. It is Jesus! This is a mystery but it is
our Christian
mystery. In the beloved Syrians we see Jesus suffering.”
“I offer my gratitude once again,” he concluded, “for
this initiative and I invoke upon each one of you abundant divine blessings.
This heavenly benediction extends in a particular way to the beloved faithful
who live in Syria and
to all Syrians who have been forced to leave their homes because of the war.
May all of you here present tell the beloved people of Syria and the Middle
East that the Pope accompanies them and is near to them. The Church will not
abandon them!”
