Well, welcome finally to the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

I'm with you live here.

I'm Father Chris, and we are beginning our new series today, The Explaining the Faith in 15

minutes.

So I'm not going to give too much of an introduction because we won't be able to start right

away on this topic, but we're grateful you could be with us on this live stream of the explaining the faith

in 15 minutes. And today is an important topic, and it is what is going on in Israel and Gaza.

And before you start forming your opinions and bringing to me that I didn't say this or that,

I'm going to do it this way.

We are going to show those arguments that are in favor of what Israel's doing.

We're going to give those arguments that are against what Israel is doing. And then we are going to tell you what the church

is said. So let us begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we ask you send the Holy Spirit down upon us to open our minds and hearts,

to receive your grace, and most of all, today, a prayer for peace.

And we ask all this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and to the Son, into the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Okay.

This is not a political talk.

This is a talk about human lives.

And what's happening,

and the treatment of the dignity of the human person

and war.
