Marty Callies with Abuna Elias Chacour

The trip opened my eyes to the situation between Palestine and Israel.

But more so, I grew to understand how Palestinians are so resilient. Not that they don’t hurt or want things different, but that through calm, consistent, peaceful means of education, constant prayer and sheer determination, they can be successful.

Yes, they have lost a lot, but in their battles, they have steadfast hope. Pray for peace for the whole situation.
