The Vatican continues to advocate for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine and, despite resistance, will continue to seek mediation between Israel and Palestine, Pope Leo XIV said in an impromptu airborne press conference.
“We all know that at this moment Israel does not accept that solution, but we see it as the only solution,” Leo told the 81 journalists accompanying him on his flight from Istanbul to Beirut Nov. 30.
But, he added, “we are also friends of Israel,” and the Vatican will continue to act as a “mediating voice that can help bring us closer to a solution with justice for all.”
The Holy See formally recognized the state of Palestine in 2015 and Leo has previously reiterated its long-standing position in support of a two-state solution. But his remarks on the plane were his most pointed appeal yet for Palestinian statehood in the context of the war in Gaza.
Peace to all,
Tuesday of the First Week of Advent
Turning to the disciples in private he said,
“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
For I say to you,
many prophets and kings desired to see what you see,
but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
To me, From two Fathers Abram and Abraham Isaac and Ishmael were brothers to each other with different Mothers Sarah and Hagar making them Brothers to each other yet cousins to all mankind cousins to all now become From One Father through One Mother for One Son through the Christ in all becoming One Holy Spirit Family One God in being, One State Two Nature Spirit and Life Solution, becoming again in all One Family, believe.
Peace always,

Oh no! You know the movie “Snakes On A Plane”? I’ve never seen it, but they should make one called “Popes On A Plane,” where Popes say dumb stuff and it tickles the ears of the secular media.
If I were Pope (which thanks be to God that I’m not), I would rest on the Plane. I certainly would not be spewing my opinions to people who desire nothing more than to manipulate the official teachings and disciplines of the Church.
Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael are central figures in the Abrahamic religions, representing a foundational family split with spiritual and cultural significance. Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac, from different mothers: Ishmael from the maidservant Hagar, and Isaac from his wife Sarah. Ishmael is considered the patriarch of the Arab people, while Isaac is the patriarch of the Israelite people.
Moses did not come directly from Abraham, but the Hebrew people’s history links them, with Moses appearing centuries after Abraham. Abraham is considered the patriarch who began the lineage of the Israelites, which later included Moses, who led the descendants of Abraham out of Egyptian slavery. The connection is through the generations from Abraham to Isaac, to Jacob (whose twelve sons became the twelve tribes of Israel), and eventually to Moses’s ancestors.
- The New Name: Israel means “he struggles with God” or “God prevails,” reflecting Jacob’s transformation and perseverance.
- The Outcome: This encounter symbolized a shift from a life of earthly struggle and trickery to a new identity of personal faith and reliance on God. It also led to a new relationship with God and the promise of the covenant blessings that had been passed down to his father and grandfather.
Peace to all,
Moses turns the water into blood and Jesus turnes the water in to wine then to blood every Sunday at The Mass, I believe through the New Living Sacrifice in The Host.
Logically, faithfully, the blood of God unites all as One God In Being through two natures God and Temple in One Incorruptiblye and Immortal Christ Body for all becoming again in all One Divine Two Nature Family.
Oneagain, OMNiLogically
Heirs to the Promise Land through the Shared Temple in the One Body of Christ fulfilling mental happiness is Oneness and we know the opposite of fear from separation is love through uniting all as One God in being together in One Land through One Temple from the One Father for the One Son through the One Mother becoming again in all One Holy Spirit Family One God in being, I believe.
Peace always,
Stephen
