| Bombed sitting-room |
On Saturday evening at about 6pm, our franciscan monastery and Terra Santa School in Aleppo was bombed. An elderly lady was killed and two seriously wounded. Others suffered various levels of injury.
The monastery and school has been sheltering elderly and homeless christians during the past 5 years of war. It was a safe haven for many. Now it was targeted by a missile and it is not known if it was a govt. missile or russian or rebel muslim.

Please don't forget to pray for the christians in Syria who are being persecuted in a war that does not involve them. Pray for the franciscans who are risking their lives to remain in the abandoned city to serve the christians to the end. Pray for Mother Teresa's sisters who are serving these elderly and sick sheltering in our monastery; for the St. Vincent de Paul sisters who remain to run their hospital (Sr. Munira the former cook of the Bethfage convent is now in this hospital working) to help the injured.
You cannot remain indifferent yet call yourself a catholic.
