      <image:title>Journal - Salesian sisters’ house in Sudan bombed as war heads into seventh month</image:title>
      <image:caption>On last Friday (03.11.2023) morning at 6.50 am, a huge bomb landed in Dar Mariam house and compound, where there are five Sisters, all above 65 years old, about 45 children, twenty women, men (some of them old and sick), a Dar Mariam teacher and a priest! The bomb exploded in two stages. It hit the parapet of the first floor on the right side of the building and exploded and the second part exploded on the left side of the first floor. During the time when the bomb landed, the children and mothers were taking their morning tea down on the ground floor. "We are certain that Our Blessed Mother wanted to sacrifice herself for all of us. Thus the beautiful portrait of Our Blessed Mother shattered into pieces", said the priest.</image:caption>

The small Catholic community in Gaza, despite the terrible situation they are experiencing, the bombings, and the evacuation order, gather in the only Catholic parish there to pray for a miracle: peace.
