ZENIT - Family, Christmas And War In Syria,

Between Christmas and the storm, Syrian family is caught in a squeeze ... On one side the angels singing for Peace and on the other side a unmerciful storm   

The Savage and cruel storm offers:    

1) Death by bombs.   

2) Bullets of snipers.   

3) Car bombs.   

4) Kidnapping and ransom exchange.   

5) Insecurity of the roads.   

6) Inflation and shortages of all kinds.   

7) Embargo and the choking of the economy.   

8) The homeless nomadic life.   

9) Lost school year, closed schools ...   

10) Living winter without warm clothing or heating.   

11) Dying away from parents, parish and family tombs.   

12) No work or resources, waiting for the irregular alms.

This litany of the endless suffering and misery continues daily in front of the silence of the world.. Even the humanitarian aid is only arriving to a minority of millions of refugees and affected families who are abandoned to their fate.   

   

In front of this endless and merciless crisis, the Syrian family is carrying alone its heavy burden while turning for the divine crèche to find a refuge beside the HOLY FAMILY, praying in silence and listening to the symphony of angels   

GLORY TO GOD ... AND PEACE ON EARTH ...   

   

Listening to the bombs falling on the neighborhood, a four years child glued to his mother with eyes full of tears spends the whole day asking her:

Mom, At what TIME WE ARE GOING TO DIE? 

DIVINE CHILD, KING OF PEACE ... HAVE MERCY...

Christmas 2012
