Dear bothers and sisters,

 
Peace and fortune in God !
At this point of time when most of us catholics are busy with woeing for the Christ's sufferings and celebrate for His resurrection, I want to awake you all, and through you, awake all the catholics in the world to pray for peace in the Mideast territory, with the warmest loyalty to the Lord, our God.
Israeli is at stake, Jews people are at stake. History has already reached a defining point. A very very important moment. As all the world is condemning the massacre taking place in Mideast these days, Israeli government shows no sign to stop the fire and the conflicts are escalating all the way ahead !! Violence is getting more and more uncontrolled.
Personally, I see no wisdom in the "eye for eye" policy adopted by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister of Israeli. Such a poor policy could only lead the country to another non-stopping run of violent retaliation. There should be a wall !! 
 
First, Israeli troops should immediately withdraw from Ramallah and West bank !!!
Second, Israeli should recognize a soverign Palestian country !!!
Thirdly, President Yassar Arafat should go to great lengths to stop Hamas violent actions upon Israel and thus reach ceasefire !!!
Last, international pressure should be exerted upon both sides to stop suicide bombing !!!
 
Not only President Yassar Arafat's life is at risk, but the whole Israeli nation and people is facing a to-be-or-not-to-be choice !!
 
Let's say, for the sake of Jesus's sufferings and resurrection, and for all what we have already done, please, my holy father, please let the world be running as what you like, what you've planned ! Let there be peace in Mideast.
 
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
 
Please pray and forward to as many people as possible.
