-ISRAEL’S MESSAGE TO POPE BENEDICT XVI: “Please, let it be.”
EDITORIAL COMMENT

MAY 17, 2009 - Pope John XXIII (1881-1963), was one of the most beloved popes of all time. His relationship with the Jewish people earned him respect and gratitude. He once said: “Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.”
Reading mass media reports, it would seem the recent visit to Israel by Pope Benedict XVI was thwart in fears and very little in hopes and dreams. One moving event did occur, which the majority of the international media ignored.
Perhaps the best and only way for us to describe the event, is to show it to you. You cannot fail to be impressed. <<<Click here>>>
