Carmelites in Jerusalem pray for the two peoples in conflict
From their cloister on the Mount of Olives, where, according to an ancient Christian tradition, Jesus taught the Pater Noster, the nuns bear witness to recent events, hearing “protests and gunfire outside our walls” and collect “tear gas canisters in the cloister”. For them, “Only justice and respect can lead to peace, hard [to achieve] but lasting. Day after day, we are given the opportunity to grasp the seeds of this through remarkable people, both Jewish and Palestinian.”
