Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, shares a powerful reflection on faith, suffering, and hope in the Holy Land.

Having lived in the region for over three decades, he speaks about the reality facing Christians today—a small but resilient community living amid ongoing conflict and political instability. From Jerusalem, the heart of salvation history, to Gaza and the West Bank, Cardinal Pizzaballa offers a deeply personal perspective on what it means to live the Gospel where it all began.

In this interview, he reflects on the Holy Land as a place where Scripture becomes tangible, where the mystery of the Incarnation takes on concrete meaning, and where hope is not found within ourselves—but in the Risen Christ.

Even in the midst of war, he points to the quiet witness of those who continue to serve others with love and sacrifice as a living sign of Easter hope.
