Mary holds the Middle East in her heart but evil has so penetrated those cultures and hatred nourished for centuries that spilling blood cannot be avoided. Only for a much later time, after God’s intervention and purifying, will the hatred be washed away.
Now there exist only secondary remedies which limit the blood shedding and protect the innocent. Who will come and lay down their life, as Jesus did, a person of great stature filled with love for all, offering himself as a victim of peace. Only then will the hatred become love and be washed away in forgiveness and trust.
