The Nakba is not merely a memory in the pages of history, but a wound that is still alive in the heart of the Palestinian people…
It is the tear of a mother who is still waiting, the prayer of a grandmother who keeps the key as if it were a promise of return, and the story of a people who learned to carry their pain every day without losing hope.
And in the midst of this long suffering, we learn from Christ that injustice does not have the final word, and that light is born even from the darkest nights. Just as the marks of the nails remained in Christ’s hands after the Resurrection, the traces of the Nakba remain in our souls… not to kill hope, but to testify that pain cannot defeat truth and love.
We pray for justice, for a peace that upholds human dignity, and for the day when every person returns to their home, and finally finds peace in their heart.

النكبة ليست مجرد ذكرى في صفحات التاريخ، بل جرحٌ ما زال حيًّا في قلب الإنسان الفلسطيني… هي دمعةُ أمٍّ ما زالت تنتظر، وصلاةُ جدّةٍ تحفظ المفتاح كأنّه وعدٌ بالعودة، وحكايةُ شعبٍ تعلّم أن يحمل ألمه كل يوم دون أن يفقد الرجاء. وفي وسط هذا الوجع الطويل، نتعلّم من المسيح أن الظلم لا يملك الكلمة الأخيرة، وأن النور يولد حتى من أكثر الليالي ظلمة. فكما بقيت آثار المسامير في يدي المسيح بعد القيامة، بقيت آثار النكبة في أرواحنا… لا لتقتل الرجاء، بل لتشهد أن الألم لا يستطيع أن يهزم الحق والمحبة. نصلّي من أجل العدالة، ومن أجل سلامٍ يحفظ كرامة الإنسان، ومن أجل يومٍ يعود فيه كل إنسان إلى بيته، ويجد قلبه أخيرًا مطمئنًا.

The Ascension of Christ into heaven is not a farewell because we only say goodbye to those who may never return.
He ascended to heaven to show us how precious our humanity is.
He carried with Him His wounds our wounds.
He carried human fear, to tell us that it will be overcome.
He carried our earthly thoughts, to assure us that they can be transformed and made holy.
And most importantly, His Ascension proclaims:
The One who died for us and rose again will never forget us, and He has opened the gate of heaven so that we may enter after we finish our journey in this world.

Live on earth, but keep your heart in heaven 💙

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1

Who among us chooses the wrong path?
Or makes decisions hoping they’ll turn out wrong?
We’re always searching for what’s right…
but sometimes we forget to look for the right Shepherd the one who can truly guide our lives and lead us to life.
So often, we don’t seek counsel…
and even when we do, we choose advice that just fits what we already want.
We think we’re certain,
but in reality, we may be letting our lives slip away through wrong ideas, wrong people, or wrong places.
Today, on Good Shepherd Sunday,
choose Jesus to lead your life because He knows your heart better than you do. 💙

Blessed Sunday 💙🙏🏽

في ظلّ التحديات الاقتصادية والمعيشية التي تمرّ بها منطقتنا، تواصل جمعية الراعي رسالتها الإنسانية من خلال مطبخها الخيري، الذي يقدّم الدعم الغذائي لأكثر من 150 عائلة في بيت لحم وبيت جالا وبيت ساحور.
هذا المطبخ ليس مجرد مكان لإعداد الطعام، بل هو مساحة محبة وتكافل، حيث تتحوّل الأيادي العاملة إلى جسور أمل، وتُترجم القيم الإنسانية إلى وجبات دافئة تصل إلى من هم بأمسّ الحاجة إليها.
نؤمن في جمعية الراعي أن العطاء لا يُقاس بالكثرة، بل بالنية الصادقة، وأن كل وجبة تُقدَّم تحمل معها رسالة كرامة واهتمام، وتُخفّف عن العائلات عبء الحياة اليومية.
معًا، نستمر في زرع الخير، لأن كل إنسان يستحق أن يشعر بالأمان والاهتمام.

In light of the economic and living challenges facing our community, the shepherd society continues its humanitarian mission through its community kitchen, providing food support to more than 150 families in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, and Beit Sahour.
This kitchen is not just a place where meals are prepared—it is a space of compassion and solidarity, where helping hands become bridges of hope, and human values are transformed into warm meals delivered to those most in need.
At the shepherd society, we believe that giving is not measured by quantity, but by sincere intention. Every meal carries a message of dignity and care, helping to ease the daily burdens faced by families.
Together, we continue to plant seeds of goodness, because every person deserves to feel safe and cared for.
