Patriarch Speaks
Of Palestinians
VATICAN CITY (NC) - Holy Week 1988 was a
“Way of the Cross” for Palestinians living in Israeli-
occupied territories, said Latin-rite Patriarch Michel
Sabbah of Jerusalem.
“Every Palestinian carries the cross. They have
carried it for so many years. It is carried by the
wounded, by the people in jail,” he said.
It is “a social, collective and individual cross,” he
added.
Patriarch Sabbah was quoted in an Easter editorial
in L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper.
“The basic principle for any solution is justice and
equality for all the people fighting here,” said
Patriarch Sabhah.
“It is the Easter hope of the 1988 ‘Way of the Cross’
in Palestine,” he said.
The two-paragraph editorial appeared in the April
3 Easter Sunday edition and expressed hope for “a
new social, collective and individual life for the
Palestinian people.”
Because of the street fighting between Palestinians
and Israeli soldiers in the occupied territories,
Patriarch Sabbah canceled the traditional Palm Sun
day procession, part of which passes through oc
cupied territory.
Since the current anti-Israeli protests began in
early December, two Israelis and more than 130 Pal
estinians have been killed.
