Thank you for performing Ave Maria at St. Peter's Square by responding to the associations of spiritual renovation that met this year to pray, dedicating their prayers to those persecuted in the Orient for their faith.
O artist, singer and songwriter you lost your eyesight, but your insight made you see the suffering of people… your pained brethren are suffering from displacement, oppression, expulsion and they are being crucified for no sin they committed other than being Christian and other than they have faith in the religion of the One who was crucified and who rose from the dead…
Thank you Bocelli for you contribution, for your insight and for your noble feelings… thank you for the hope associated with your mellifluous voice… thank you for reminding the world that art and beauty are capable of rescuing the world…
We associate our tiring voices in our bleeding Orient to your voice that has not changed for decades, and ask you to continue your march of singing for the cause of every suffering human being and for those who see nothing other than their private interests, where they conduct violence, crimes and displacement in the name of religion and in the name of God on assumption that the Almighty God needs help to perform an evil deed. The Almighty God it is not incapable of performing such deeds, since He does not conduct policies of displacement and humiliation.
O our friend, do remind the world that hope makes people able to see… for gloom is followed by respite. What makes this possible and definite is that you sang for those who are suffering because of their faith, on the third day of July, which is the anniversary of Apostle St. Thomas, whose name was associated with doubt and skepticism. The Divine Teacher addressed him saying: "Blessed are those who believe and did not see."
Thank you Andrea Bocelli…
