Dr Yousef Khoury visit to Australia left a mark on all who heard him speak. The most impactful statement was this: “you can’t love God whom you cannot see and hate your neighbour whom you see”.
Being a Christian is not easy but the Christian message demands of us to raise our consciousness to live Christ like and reflect God’s image within us.
The promise of the gospel is that the kingdom of God is near when we open our hearts to each other.

It’s been incredible learning from the costly nonviolent witness of the Church in Palestine with Dr. Yousef AlKhouri’s visit to Australia.🕊

During his visit, Dr. AlKhouri, Academic Dean of Bethlehem Bible College, was asked the question: how do you love your enemies if they don’t see you as human?

His response was one that should challenge each of us:

“I’m not expecting my enemy to see me as a human, but I will see the face of God in them, I will love them, and call them to repentance, into our shared humanity.” Dr. Yousef Kamal AlKhouri.

Dr AlKhouri shared firsthand accounts of the harrowing plight of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Forced displacement, demolition of homes and Israeli settler attacks continue to undermine prospects for a just and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel. We join international calls for Israel to fulfill its obligations under international law to curb settler violence, protect civilians, and end policies that enable settlement expansion and annexation.

Fr Romanelli: Pope’s Message Brings Hope to Gaza’s Christians

Despite the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Leo XIV sent a message of solidarity and hope to Holy Family Parish, the only church in the Strip. He assured the faithful of his continued prayers and thanked the priests, religious sisters and church workers who remain beside the people.

Fr Gabriel Romanelli said the Pope continues to stay in contact with the parish and repeatedly calls for an end to the war and for peace across the Middle East. He explained that the church remains a spiritual and humanitarian shelter for dozens of displaced families.

The parish recently experienced brief moments of joy through hymns, prayer and a celebration marking ten years since the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of .

However, Gaza’s humanitarian situation remains extremely difficult, with continued attacks, shortages of aid and growing food insecurity affecting more than 1.4 million people.

For Gaza’s Christians, the Pope’s message is a reminder that they are not alone. Fr Romanelli concluded that prayer remains their strongest response to suffering and expressed hope that calls for peace will soon lead to practical action and an end to the suffering of civilians.
