The Holy Family Parish in Gaza is creating a heartfelt video to honor Pope Francis on the twelfth anniversary of his election to the papacy, which will be celebrated tomorrow.
Father Gabriel Romanelli, the parish priest, shared the news with Adnkronos, emphasizing the deep connection between the Pope and the Gaza community.
Despite being hospitalized at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, Pope Francis continues to keep the people of Gaza close to his heart. Father Romanelli highlighted that the Pope has been in regular contact with the parish, offering words of comfort and solidarity throughout the ongoing conflict in the region.
“Even during his recovery, the Holy Father has not forgotten us,” said Father Romanelli.
The video, prepared by the parishioners, aims to express their gratitude and admiration for the Pope’s unwavering support and compassion. It will feature messages of hope and prayers from the community, reflecting the Pope’s enduring influence on their lives.
The initiative underscores the strong bond between the Vatican and the faithful in Gaza, a region that has faced immense challenges.
As the world joins in celebrating Pope Francis’ twelve years of leadership, the tribute from Gaza serves as a poignant reminder of the Pope’s commitment to unity, peace, and care for the marginalized.
The video is not just a gift to the Pontiff but also a testament to the resilience and faith of the Gaza community.
