Some members of my family are now in Israel visiting the Holy Land. I ask you to please keep them, and all people in the area, in your prayers.After three days of Israeli attacks on Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a local parish priest said the buildings are shaking, the bombing is continuous and "they are bombarding us like the demon."
"We are only at the beginning," said Msgr. Manuel Musallam, pastor of Holy Family Parish in Gaza City, in a telephone interview with Catholic News Service Dec. 29. He added that he feared another intifada, or Palestinian uprising.
"We will fight against all hope. We pray and we ask God to find a solution," said the priest who is maintaining contact with parishioners through text messaging.

One of my classmates is in the Holy Land right now, too, with a group through school. I had wanted to go on this trip, now thanking God I couldn't afford it.
Praying they all remain safe!
Thanks Adoro...I will pray for your classmates also!
Pray if you want, but it might not be needed. This is a conflict and the border. Unless the classmates are in that area, no problem - and if they are, they probably moved away by now.
