\nagainst God and all humanity,” Pope Benedict XVI told those gathered in St Peter’s Square for the praying of the Angelus and an address in which he described the
\nNew Year’s eve bombing of a Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria, Egypt. There’s been a consistent campaign to terrorize and kill Christians in Arab nations. This was the latest round of Muslim attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nnews of the serious attack against the Coptic Christian community in
\nAlexandria, Egypt. This vile act of death, such as planting bombs close to the
\nhomes of Christians in Iraq to force them to leave, offends God and all
\nhumanity, who only yesterday prayed for peace and began the New Year with
\nhope”.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nteachings of non-violence: “Before this strategy of violence that has targeted
\nChristians, and has consequences for the whole population, I pray for the
\nvictims and family members, and encourage church communities to persevere in
\nfaith and witness to non-violence that comes from the Gospel”. <\/span><\/p>\n
\ncontinue to contemplate the divine mystery of Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem
\nof the Virgin Mary. He is the Word of God made flesh for our salvation, the
\nWisdom of God who has come to enlighten us. Let us always cherish this presence
\nof Jesus who brings us grace and truth! I wish you all a pleasant Sunday and
\nrenew my good wishes for a Happy New Year!”<\/span><\/p>\n
\nin Christ, our hope and our peace!”<\/span><\/p>\n
