Fr. Antonio Aurelio Fernández, OSST shares with us his experience after his visit to the persecuted Christians in Syria, in the midst of car bombs and terrorist attacks. Fr. Antonio describes the harsh reality he encountered in Syrian cities like Homs, Damascus, and Aleppo, and the shocking irreality of the portrayal of the situation by the western mass media. The manipulation is all based on the political interests of countries like Saudi Arabia, Israel, the United States, and Germany. Fr. Antonio Aurelio Fernández is the president of Trinitarian International Solidarity (SIT). Pray with us for our persecuted brothers and sisters, who do not cease to ask for our support, and proclaim with them that you also are a “Nazarene.”
