Pastoral Letter of Cardinal Pizzaballa in Hebrew


On the Feast of St. Mark the Evangelist, April 25, 2026, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa published a Pastoral Letter to the Diocese of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. We are pleased to present here the official Hebrew translation of this important letter.

In this text, the Patriarch offers a profound spiritual reflection on the reality of the Holy Land today, marked by conflict and suffering, while inviting all the faithful to rediscover their Christian vocation as a sign of hope, unity, and reconciliation. Rooted in the vision of Jerusalem as a city open to all, the letter encourages prayer, dialogue, and concrete commitment in daily life.


The full Hebrew version is available on the Latin Patriarchate website: HERE.
