I share the readers of my blog Houssam the appeal of his priest to pray for Christians in Iraq of his country and bring with them the weight of this persecution.
I report a site ( http://www.h2onews.org/ ), in which you can read and hear testimony on the last attack on the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
To read the article: http://www.h2onews.org/italiano/1-eventi/224447121-chi-siamo-noi-cristiani-dell
It reads, inter alia: "(...) Iraq's Christians have experienced deeply the meaning of life because they have experienced the joys after having tasted the bitterness of grief, I have lived in the hope after experiencing the power of tragedy; I have lived the rice after the tears shed, and have lived a smile after seeing the will broken by violence. These are really the Christians of Iraq. Want an example of all this?! I'll show the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, who will speak on behalf of all Christians in Iraq and give examples written with the blood of its martyrs.
(...) And you Christians of Iraq, when sadness fills your soul and do not see the future, look up there, the God of Heaven and Earth, and remember well who you are and let the world know! What
consciences see what is happening to us, and feel that those who have plugged their ears and tell those that have tight lips and say that we, the Christians of Iraq! ".
Currently there are 26 victims of the attack in Baghdad in Rome, at the Gemelli hospital. Others are in France. It seems that nobody wants to go back to Iraq. Then, says Houssam friend, is a success for the attackers: to promote more and more the Christian exodus.
I am told that the next 25/11 days, at 17:00, there will be a S. Mass in Rome in S. Peter for peace in Iraq.
