On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Custos of the Holy Land, Father Francesco Patton, leads Mass at the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, and urges the congregation to ask for the gift of peace in the Middle East.
The struggle described by St. John in the Biblical account between the woman and the dragon, he said, is nothing other than the description of the"continuous attempt that the Evil One makes to sabotage the birth of that new world willed by God," the birth of"a humanity no longer enslaved by violence, war, the market, cultural colonisation, the commodification of people.
With this in mind, Fr. Patton said, we are"to ask today for the gift of peace for that prophecy to be fulfilled," that is to say,"that those who want to violently impose their own politics, economy, culture, religion, no longer have power," but that rather"the little ones may live in peace, and the hostages and prisoners may return to their families."
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, has invited people to recite the same text at the same time, noting he himself will use it to ask for the gift of peace in view of the ceasefire talks being held in Qatar today, 15 August.
