totalcatholic.comPosted on December 19, 2006
Peace in the Middle East will come about thanks to the commitment of Christians, Jews and Muslims alike, says Benedict XVI.
The Pope expressed this today with the words "Shalom alechem," on receiving representatives of B'nai B'rith International. The group's stated objective is to keep Jewish traditions and culture alive, as well as to offer humanitarian aid to the needy.
In his address in English to his guests, the Holy Father reiterated his "unfailing hope and prayer for peace in the Holy Land."
"Peace can only come about if it is the concern of Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, expressed in genuine interreligious dialogue and concrete gestures of reconciliation," assured the Holy Father.
