'You are not alone' Pope tells Catholics in Holy Land - Vatican. "We will not leave you alone, but we will remain in solidarity with you through prayer and practical charity," he said.
"Soon we hope to return among you as pilgrims, to draw near to you, to embrace you," said Pope Francis in an Easter letter released on Wednesday. He also calls on Christians throughout the world "to manifest their concrete support for you and pray tirelessly that all the people of your beloved land may dwell atlast in peace"
