      Hello All!        This Area is READ ONLY. Do not post to this area.        The following press release is Copyrighted by the        Vatican Information Service.        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        VIS-Press releases              CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AN INSTRUMENT OF RECONCILIATION              VATICAN CITY, 10 OCT 2010 (VIS) - At midday today, after having concelebrated       Mass with the Synod Fathers to inaugurate the Special Assembly of the Synod of       Bishops for the Middle East, the Holy Father appeared at the window of his       private study to pray the Angelus with thousands of faithful gathered below in       St. Peter's Square.              In the Middle East, the Pope remarked, "the one Church of Christ expresses       herself in all the richness of her ancient traditions". In the countries of       that region, "unfortunately marked by profound divisions and lacerated by       years-long conflicts, the Church is called to be a sign and instrument of unity       and reconciliation", he said.              "This is an arduous task, because the Christians of the Middle East often find       themselves having to support difficult living conditions at a personal, family       and community level. But this must not be a discouragement; it is precisely in       such a context that the perennial message of Christ to 'believe in the Good       News' becomes more necessary and urgent".              In the month of October, which is dedicated to the Rosary, Benedict XVI       entrusted the work of the Synod to the Virgin Mary, who is "so loved and       venerated by our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and, ... as the Star       of Hope, is close to all forms of suffering.              "To her intercession", the Holy Father added in conclusion, "we entrust the       synodal assembly, ... that the Christians of the region may be strengthened in       communion and bear witness to the Gospel of love and peace".       ANG/VIS 20101011 (270)              SUMMARY              --- MPost/386 v1.21        * Origin: Sursum Corda!
