The Voice of the suffering and persecuted​

"In Pakistan, it is difficult to receive justice if you are a member of a religious minority. Many members of minority groups are not even aware that they have the same rights as Muslims."

“They do not want us to instruct pupils in the liturgical language, Syriac, and they do not want us to teach history because they prefer to drum their own history into the heads of pupils."

"These measures are aimed at realizing the socialist project and imposing the communist model, cost what it may, even in terms of the suffering of the people."

"During the war, we lived in difficult circumstances, especially as students. We studied by candlelight sometimes, not to mention the sounds of the explosions that were increasing our stress."

"Religion is no more than a pretext in this case. It is above all a political, economic and geo-strategic conflict."

“It is my wish to remain in this land, despite all the difficult circumstances and disadvantages we have to deal with. I pray to God to realize this dream and to preserve my family, protect us and keep us safe.”

“I am happy to live my life as a young Catholic. Although we are a minority—with people around us who are all Muslims—we can live together."

“Know that God sees your tears and knows what you are going through; He has vowed not to leave you orphans. So, brace up and take courage."

"The whole of the Middle East is being convulsed by violence, corruption and political upheaval. It is blighted by sin. It is Jesus who forgives these sins and heals the wounds. Who can give this restless and corrupt region Jesus other than the Christians? We are therefore not only Christians—but also disciples of forgiveness and love."

“Though so many died and despite all the destruction of property, no one betrayed Christ. We stood firm in our faith. We were able to face this terror only because God was with us. "
