As a Jew, I want you to know we are praying for the Pope

[IndianaGreen]

This Pope has done more than any of his predecessors to improve Catholic-Jewish relations and to redress past wrongs. I just want to extend a hand of friendship and solidarity to our Catholic friends. You are not alone.

Shalom!

1. Thank you so much, Indy. I think for once

it might be safe for me to speak for all Catholics in saying how much that is appreciated.

BTW, I just started reading a fascinating and very well-written historical novel that, through fictional characters, "tells the little-known but true story of the vast underground effort of the Italian citizens who saved the lives of 43, 000 Jews during the final phase of the year."

PM me if you want to know more about it,

Thanks again for recognizing the very important good works that Pope John Paul II has done.

Pax tecum

Shalom

May the Lord be with you and with your people, as we pray for Him to be with us.
