Pizzaballa: The blood of innocents in Gaza will not be forgotten.

"We all want that this war situation and its consequences on life of our communities ends as soon as possible, and we must do We must do everything we can to make this happen, but we must not let ourselves be put off illusions". This was said by the Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, in the homily of the mass for the Assumption which he celebrated in Abou Gosh. "The end of the war would not, however, mark the end of the hostility and the pain they will cause. From the hearts of many - the Patriarch continued - it will continue to come out desire for revenge and anger. The evil that seems to govern the heart of many, will not cease its activity, but will always be at work, I would even say creative. For a long time to come we will have what to do with the consequences this war has caused on life of people". "We know that sooner or later the dragon - he underlined cardinal with reference to the image of evil in the Readings of Today - it will be won. But we know that now we must endure, knowing that the dragon will continue to rage throughout history. And the blood caused by all this evil", "than any other innocent, not only here in the Holy Land, in Gaza as in any other other part of the world, it is not forgotten. It is not thrown away in some corner of history".
