<\/strong>I am following what is happening in Syria at this delicate time in its history. I hope that a political solution will be reached that, without further conflict and division, will responsibly promote the stability and unity of the country. I pray through the intercession of the Virgin Mary that the Syrian people may live in peace and security in their beloved land.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
