About this sermon
At least three people have died and several others were injured after the only Catholic church in Gaza—the Holy Family Church—was struck by an Israeli tank. The strike occurred just after ten o’clock in the morning local time, hitting the church’s roof while hundreds of Palestinian Christians were sheltering inside. Father Gabriele Romanelli, the church’s priest, was injured, but his wounds were not life-threatening, and he later returned to check on the wounded. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged the strike, stating the circumstances are under review and that they make every feasible effort to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian structures, including religious sites, and regret any damage caused to them. Farid Jubran, Public Affairs Advisor and Spokesperson for the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, joins to discuss how Cardinal Pizzaballa is responding, describes the relationship between the Patriarchate and the Israeli government, and highlights the outreach the Latin Patriarchate in Jerusalem has made to Christians living in Gaza since the start of the war. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
