FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear Friends –
Pope Francis is urging governments to find a political solution to the war in Syria. In a video message
released on Tuesday in support of a new Caritas Internationalis campaign, "Syria: Peace is Possible", the Pope
reiterates his belief that “there is no military solution for Syria, only a political one”. (You may the video on our
parish Facebook page, “Church of Saint Paul the Apostle, NYC”.)
Caritas, the Catholic Church’s global network of humanitarian agencies, provides food, healthcare, basic
needs, education, shelter, counselling, protection and livelihoods in Syria and to refugees in host countries. National Caritas organizations reached 1.3 million people last year alone.
Dealing with the humanitarian consequences of the five year war in Syria it is the largest Caritas relief
operation in the world. Caritas Internationalis is launching a new website to support the campaign and it is urging
people across the globe to take action. Michel Roy explains that Caritas Internationalis’ reinforced campaign for
“Peace in Syria” is also a response to repeated pleas on the part of its colleagues in Syria and in the whole of the
Middle East that more be done “to help them get out of that war that is imposed upon them”.
Caritas has three requests:
1. To pray for an end to this war in Syria because we do believe that in the situation we are facing now prayer
has a role to play”.
2. To challenge governments to work for a lasting ceasefire and extended to other areas in Syria, because first
hand witnesses say that the ceasefire, when it is respected, does bring a lot of relief to the people.
3. To increase the humanitarian support that is needed because so many are trapped in Syria, or have been displaced”. Caritas says the international community is not coming up with enough money to respond to the demand, that’s why we all have to ask our respective governments to engage in more humanitarian support.
The new “Syria: Peace is Possible” Caritas website can be found at syria.caritas.org . It includes specially commissioned artwork from Syrian artist Tammam Azzam, an animated film on the war, an award winning
photo series and testimony from Syrians living both inside the country and as refugees in bordering nations and
beyond.
Let us pray for peace,
Father Gil

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo –
Mediante un comunicado de prensa hecho público el primer martes de julio, Caritas Internationalis recuerda que el Papa Francisco exhorta a los gobiernos a fin de que encuentren una solución a la guerra en Siria como
parte de la campaña de la misma Caritas titulada “Siria: La paz es posible”.
En efecto, mediante un video-mensaje grabado de modo especial ante la situación que se está viviendo en
esta nación, el Pontífice se dirige a todos los fieles y, de modo especial, a quienes trabajan con Caritas en la construcción de una sociedad más justa, para decirles que la paz en este país es posible. (Se encentra el video en sitio
de la parroquia en Facebook, “Church of Saint Paul the Apostle, NYC”.)
De ahí la invitación del Obispo de Roma a quienes están participando en las negociaciones de paz a que
tomen en cuenta seriamente estos acuerdos y se comprometan a facilitar el acceso a la ayuda humanitaria.
Asimismo cabe destacar que hacer frente a las consecuencias humanitarias de la guerra de cinco años en
Siria es la operación de ayuda humanitaria más grande de Caritas, en todo el mundo. Caritas proporciona víveres,
atención médica, responde a las necesidades básicas de educación, refugio, orientación psicológica, protección y
medios de sustento en Siria así como a los refugiados en otros países; a la vez que se recuerda que el año pasado,
las organizaciones nacionales de Caritas lograron ayudar a casi un millón trescientas mil personas.
Además, Caritas sigue exhortando a sus seguidores y colaboradores en todo el mundo a que presionen a
sus gobiernos para asegurar que todas las partes en conflicto se unan para encontrar una solución pacífica; apoyar
a los millones de personas afectadas por la guerra y ofrecer a los sirios, dentro y fuera del país, dignidad y esperanza.
Por esta razón, Caritas ha abierto una página web para apoyar la campaña, www.syria.caritas.org, en la que
se incluye una obra de arte del artista sirio Tammam Azzam, que fue comisionada especialmente, una película animada sobre la guerra, una serie de imágenes de un fotógrafo galardonado y testimonios de sirios que viven tanto
dentro como fuera del país, así como de refugiados en naciones vecinas y otros lugares.
La paz sea siempre con uds. –
Padre Gil
