Pope In Holy Land: Prayer At Wailing Wall

PRAYER OF THE HOLY FATHER
AT THE WESTERN WALL 


God of our fathers,
you chose Abraham and his descendants
to bring your Name to the Nations:
we are deeply saddened by the behaviour of those
who in the course of history
have caused these children of yours to suffer,
and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves
to genuine brotherhood
with the people of the Covenant.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen

Sunday, 26 March 2000

IOANNES PAULUS PP. II
