We must not delude ourselves, but we are pleased that something new and positive is on the horizon,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/08\/jerusalem-cardinal-interreligious-dialogue-currently-in-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa<\/a> said in an Oct. 5 statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He echoed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/07\/pope-condemns-violence-in-middle-east-calls-for-end-to-barbarity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pope Leo XIV<\/a>\u2018s call for a day of fasting and prayer for peace on Oct. 11 and added that the patriarchate of Jerusalem renews its intercessory prayer for peace to its patroness, the Queen of Palestine and of all the Holy Land, as her feast day approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe end of war does not necessarily mark the beginning of peace, but it is the first essential step toward building it. We have a long road ahead to rebuild trust among ourselves, to make hope tangible, and to free ourselves from the hatred of these years. But we will strive for this, together with the many men and women here who still believe it is possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/01\/christian-witness-in-gaza-a-miracle-amid-war-custos-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">imagine a different future<\/a>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges lie ahead, says cardinal on anniversary of attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegations from the U.S., Israel and Hamas traveled to Egypt in hopes of securing an agreement to end nearly two years of conflict in Gaza, which broke out after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on southern Israeli communities which left 1,200 people dead and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2023\/10\/pope-calls-for-release-of-hostages-shows-concern-for-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">250 taken hostage into Gaza<\/a>, with 48 still remaining in captivity and around 20 believed to still be alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants, over 67,000 people have been killed in the ensuing war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know if this war will truly end, but we do know the conflict will continue because its root causes have yet to be addressed,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/07\/patriarchs-support-christians-settler-attacks-in-west-bank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cardinal Pizzaballa<\/a> added, noting that the path ahead is fraught with challenges, including the deteriorating situation in the West Bank where especially small Palestinian villages lack sufficient protection by security forces from increasing daily settler attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the face of uncertainty about the future and feelings of disorientation and distrust, the Church is called on to \u201cspeak a word of hope,\u201d he said, and to \u201chave the courage to offer a narrative that opens horizons and builds rather than destroys\u201d both in word and deed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church seeks \u201ca spiritual vision that will help us remain steadfast in the Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Violence has devastated not only land but also \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/priests-network-condemns-genocide-happening-in-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the human soul of many<\/a>,\u201d the cardinal said, both in the Holy Land and around the world. \u201cAnger, resentment, distrust, hatred, and contempt\u201d dominate the discourse \u201cand pollute our hearts,\u201d he said. The risk of becoming accustomed to suffering is high, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery life lost, every wound inflicted, every hunger endured remains a scandal in God\u2019s eyes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep scars left by war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He criticized the way power, force and violence have increasingly shaped today\u2019s political, cultural, economic and even religious systems, with growing belief that force alone can bring peace, while ignoring the destructive cost such thinking taught by history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/08\/caritas-calls-man-made-famine-and-assault-on-gaza-city-a-horror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">images from Gaza<\/a> have deeply wounded the common consciousness of rights and dignity that lives in our hearts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the face of such tragedy, even believers have struggled to reconcile their faith with the harshness of reality, he said, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/01\/caritas-people-of-gaza-dying-a-slow-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hatred and pain<\/a> challenging their belief in a world reflecting God\u2019s presence. Alone they cannot fully grasp or withstand the mystery of evil, he said, urging the faithful to keep their eyes \u201cfixed on Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnly in this way will we be able to bring order within ourselves and look at the reality with new eyes,\u201d he said, pointing to forgiveness as Christ\u2019s \u201clife\u2019s choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur decision to remain, when everything urges us to leave, is not a challenge but an act of love,\u201d he said. \u201cOur denouncing is not an offense to any party but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/05\/in-first-audience-leo-xiv-calls-for-peace-in-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a call to dare a different path<\/a> from the reckoning.
