    Chaos as clashes in Egypt kill 13
    fighting began when a Muslim mob attacked thousands of Christians protesting the burning last week of a church in Soul, a village just south of Cairo.
    The Muslims torched the church amid escalating tensions over a love affair between a Muslim woman and a Christian man. The relationship set off a violent feud between the couple's families. The woman's father and a cousin of the man were killed.

    remembering
    Cairo and Alexandria,
    Tripoli and Mogadishu,

    now Ivory Coast

    let us never forget

    The Holodomor

    The Shoah

    let us always see
    everywhere about us
    our ongoing conflicts worldwide,

    everywhere
    within us
    that this violence
    also
    touches
    the womb

    of
    Christ
