We want to offer everyone the opportunity to collaborate in this great task entrusted to us by the Universal Church


“The Holy Land is a land heavy with passions ... conserving the freedom to love everyone is fundamental today, especially in the Holy Land. We Brothers, following the example of Francis of Assisi live among the people, we share their problems, trying to be free in respect of all, and loving everyone in the same way.”


“John Paul II said that the Holy Land needs bridges and not walls ... This means concretely that we must try to be open to all, to have prophetic courage and freedom to think of all. For us there must not be any barriers or walls that divide. As Church we must rather have everyone in our heart. We must make this understood by our acts and by our words ... It is difficult when you are suffering to preach reconciliation ... The Gospel begins here, where difficulties and contradictions begin.”*
