Patriarch Michel Sabbah: 'Two are absent from Jerusalem, God and man'
Two are absent from Jerusalem, God and man
Holy places are many, but God is not there.
God is no more in Jerusalem. He has departed. The human being also. Men of war took over waging wars and oppressing others. They planted hatred in the hearts. Even their prayers are no longer praise of God but have become a curse against others.
Even so, there are still true human beings in Jerusalem. They pray and they praise the Lord. God does not forget them even if He departed from the city of war made by men.
