Our present pain is associated with our
Christianity and with the mystery of our Passover (i.e., Easter). Our suffering
is joined to the suffering of our Savior Jesus, “Man of Sorrows,” will turn out
to be a blessing and salvation to us and to others. And the current challenges
are faced with more faith, hope and prayer and solidarity and wisdom. Be brave
in front of what you are facing, do not be afraid, you have deep roots in Iraq,
do not give up for frustration and despair, confident that “for all who draw the sword will die by the
sword” (Matthew 26:52) and evil does not last! You are the small
mustard seed, the Lord will not let you fall. He is with you today, tomorrow
and after tomorrow and forever.
-Chaldean Catholic
Patriarch Sako to
Mosul’s Christians
Let us all pray for Mosul’s Christians, that the Lord may be with them in their suffering.
