Pope places note in Kotel, calls for peace from the Jerusalem Post reports that Pope Benedict XVI placed a note, a tradition, in the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
It read in part:
"God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," the note continued, "hear the cry of the afflicted, the fearful, the bereft; send your peace upon this Holy Land, upon the Middle East, upon the entire human family; stir the hearts of all who call upon your name, to walk humbly in the path of justice and compassion. 'The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him" (Lam 3:25)!'"
Against The Wall from the NY Post
This is quite a move that Pope Benedict is visiting Israel. It seems that peace is really called for.
