@LilaGraceRose How evil. Every life is sacred before God.

Some people point to the Arabs and Muslims killed by Hamas on October 7 to persuade other Arabs and Muslims to condemn that day.

But why should that matter? Hamas murdered and kidnapped civilians. Their religion, ethnicity, or identity is irrelevant to me.

Targeting civilians is unacceptable, no matter who the perpetrator is and no matter who the victims are.

A Palestinian voice from Gaza: “On this day three years ago, the sun set over the Gaza Strip for the last time. Ever since, we have been living in darkness, and the sun has not risen again.”

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

True love is a gift from God, and we cannot simply create it ourselves. Whereas human love is often tainted by selfish desires, God’s love, on the other hand, is selfless, long-suffering, patient and possesses all the wonderful qualities that Paul lists in his Letter to the Corinthians (1 Cor 13). #Youcat

@almasrisulafa @Frances_Coppola Excellent point, my dear brother. You know your history.

[Brian @bmey122]

@peterswindal Pope Francis also had a deep impact on my journey. This is a deep insight.

🔴☦️« Aujourd’hui est sans doute le pire jour de ma vie. J’ai perdu ma mère et ma grand-mère. »

Dans la nuit du 2 au 3 octobre 2026, Maysa Abu Daoud, 56 ans, et sa fille Mary Najjar, 36 ans, deux chrétiennes palestiniennes de la communauté grecque-orthodoxe de Gaza, ont été tuées dans une frappe aérienne israélienne contre un immeuble résidentiel du quartier de Rimal, à Gaza.

 « A 1h30 du matin, la maison où se trouvaient ma mère et ma grand-mère a été bombardée. Une frappe directe, trois missiles tirés par des F-16 », a raconté Fouad Al-Najjar, 14 ans, fils de Mary et petit-fils de Maysa. « Dans chaque famille, il y a un martyr ou un blessé. »

Maysa et Mary étaient fidèles de la paroisse grecque-orthodoxe Saint-Porphyre. Toutes deux consacraient également une partie de leur temps à venir en aide aux paroissiens et aux familles déplacées réfugiées dans l’enceinte de l’église catholique de la Sainte-Famille.

La frappe a touché le rez-de-chaussée de l’immeuble Al-Asala, près du rond-point Haidar, dans l’ouest de la ville de Gaza. Cinq Palestiniens ont été tués, dont quatre femmes, et plusieurs autres personnes ont été blessées. Selon les informations rapportées par Vatican News, l’armée israélienne visait Ali al-Amoudi, un responsable du Hamas, qui n’aurait finalement pas été atteint.
Le 3 octobre, les cercueils de Maysa et Mary ont été conduits jusqu’à l’église grecque-orthodoxe Saint-Porphyre de Gaza, où leurs funérailles ont été célébrées par Monseigneur Alexios, archevêque grec orthodoxe de Gaza et de l’archimandrite Silas, curé de la paroisse.

Le même jour, le cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, patriarche latin de Jérusalem, a exprimé sa « profonde douleur » devant leur mort. Au nom du Patriarcat latin, de son clergé et de ses fidèles, il a présenté ses condoléances aux familles des deux femmes ainsi qu’à toute la communauté chrétienne de Gaza, demandant au Seigneur de leur accorder réconfort, force et consolation.

Leur mort frappe une nouvelle fois une communauté chrétienne de Gaza désormais réduite à moins d’un millier de personnes, profondément éprouvée par près de trois années de guerre.

Que le Seigneur accueille Maysa et Mary dans son infinie miséricorde et leur accorde le repos éternel. Prions également pour toutes les victimes du conflit, pour la communauté chrétienne de Gaza et tout particulièrement pour Fouad et sa famille, afin que le Seigneur les accompagne dans cette terrible épreuve et leur apporte consolation et paix.

Pope Leo XIV has expressed his sorrow and assured Gaza’s Christian community of his prayers after an Israeli airstrike killed five civilians, including two Orthodox women.

In a message to Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of Holy Family Church in Gaza, Pope Leo prayed for the victims and thanked him for his ministry.

Pope Leo XIV: “Since learning the painful news of the deaths of Maysa and Mary, I have been praying to God for them, for their families and for the entire community of Gaza. How long, O Lord?”

The loss of a child is so painful. Now imagine the loss of your child in a genocide, and in many instances without a body. Listen to this mother’s pain, her yearning for her son. This is the condition for so many mothers in Gaza.

The Sameer Project continues to listen and document stories in Gaza while supporting families with nourishing meals. On September 15th, we gave out 476 meals of rice and meat to Ansar 6 Camp in Gaza City. Total cost was around $1,250, including the 11% commission.

Grief is a luxury that Palestinians in Gaza don’t have as they are in survival mode, seeking water and food everyday. Help us provide support by giving to our Food & Water Campaign now: https://t.co/uFKKDqN8Aw

@annamlulis @grok is this true?

[Brian @bmey122]

@TimTebow Absolutely right.

[Brian @bmey122]

@LPJerusalem I want to donate to the Church in Gaza. How would I do that?

[Brian @bmey122]

@peterswindal @CatholicPods @PhilOutsider Yes. Criminals will use it to attack vulnerable people. In fact, they already are.
