Archbishop Bashar Warda: Is the US abandoning Christians at risk in Iraq?

Catholic News Agency
: Last week, the U.S. State Department ordered the evacuation of all non-emergency U.S. government employees at the American embassy in Baghdad and consulate in Erbil. Archbishop Bashar Warda, one of the leading voices on behalf of persecuted and displaced Christians in Iraq, released on May 21, an urgent statement regarding the retreat of U.S. personnel from key areas in the country. “We are gravely concerned regarding the recent draw down of the U.S. presence in Iraq,” the archbishop said. “Having faced genocide at the hands of ISIS, our shattered communities have drawn immense hope from the promise of the American commitment to Iraqi minority communities spearheaded by the Vice President.” Warda, as Archbishop of Erbil in the Kurdistan region, received tens of thousands of Christian and...

Meditation of Archbishop Pizzaballa, 'I give you my peace. I do not give it to you as the world gives it'

lpj.org
: Following is the meditation of Most Rev. Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Apostolic Administrator of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, for Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year C, May 26, 2019: Today’s Gospel passage (John 14:23-29) is part of the long speech that Jesus makes to His disciples during the last supper in the Cenacle, after the gesture of the washing of feet. It is a speech of greeting, in which Jesus accompanies the disturbance that the disciples feel at the announcement of His imminent departure with words that tell the meaning of what is happening, that say the purpose of the life that the Lord is about to give. In this discourse, like a refrain, some phrases come back, some intuitions of Jesus, words that are the heart of a disciple’s life. I want to highlight two aspects....
