In a heartfelt reflection on one of the most difficult periods in modern history, H.B. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa expresses his deep concern about the damage caused by the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and the entire Holy Land. However, Pizzaballa insists on the need to keep hope alive. Not with the illusion of an imminent solution to the conflict, but through the resilience of those committed to rebuilding spirits and re-establishing bonds between members of society. Not only in material reconstruction, but in the restoration of humanity itself. He highlights that hope is a choice, an attitude of life embraced by those who are determined to serve others. He believes that true hope exists where people continue to sacrifice and volunteer.

After the restoration on 6 October, the Faculty of Philosophy and Theology of the Beit Jala seminary was inaugurated under the auspices of the Patriarch of Jerusalem for the Latins, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa. Also in the presence of the Palestinian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Mr. Hani Al-Haik, and a group of priests and faithful. This event is presented as a strong message of faith in these difficult times that the Holy Land is going through, highlighting the ability to build a better future despite the difficulties.
