witnessed a horrific attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians. \u00a0Now, we are witnessing the severe bombing of Gaza which is one of the most crowded regions in the world. \u00a0However, the\u00a0killing of innocents cannot be remedied by the killing of more innocents.\u00a0 Yet, that is the reality we are witnessing today.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative of the Cardinal instills hope to all

suddenly been catapulted into a sea of unprecedented violence.\u00a0 The hatred, which we have unfortunately already been experiencing for too long, will increase even more, and the ensuing spiral of violence will create more destruction.\u00a0 Everything seems to speak of death.\u00a0 Yet, in this time of sorrow and dismay, we do not want to remain helpless.\u00a0 We cannot let death and its sting be the only word we hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let us unite today in prayer.\u00a0 That hostilities may cease, and that a true path to peace and reconciliation may be found.<\/p>\n<figure
