He concluded that Archbishop Mourad\u2019s desire to \u201clive together among diversity as brothers\u201d should serve as a universal message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The archbishop reinforced this message in his acceptance speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis award is an acknowledgment by the Catholic Church of the spiritual, social and intellectual work carried out by the church in Syria across all its structures. It is a church that has waged a noble struggle throughout these difficult years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbishop Mourad expressed gratitude to the youth and religious sisters supporting the church\u2019s mission in Syria, emphasizing that the award is, in essence, a recognition of the church in Syria. He stressed its importance for ecumenical relations and interreligious dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, especially in Syria, Christians and Muslims alike are called to recognize and nurture the bonds that unite us,\u201d he said. \u201cAll our religious traditions uphold the sanctity of life and the dignity of the human person. Together with all people of good will, we seek peace. Therefore, I say with emphasis: theological research, interreligious and intercultural dialogue are not optional \u2014 they are a vital necessity of our times, particularly for our country, Syria, torn by war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that Syria, after years of suffering, is moving toward genuine change, yet it still needs solidarity and support to advance powerfully toward reconciliation and democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are a people of faith, and therefore a people of hope \u2014 this is our testimony to the world. We hope that our perseverance in hope will become a call for renewed international commitment to finding ways to build true peace,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archbishop Mourad thanked the Catholic Church, in the person of Pope Leo XIV, and the John Paul II Foundation for their engagement and encouragement of initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue and building lasting peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI dedicate this award first and foremost to Father Paolo Dall\u2019Oglio, a pioneer of the path and mission of renewed dialogue in Syria, based on the teachings of the Catholic Church \u2014 the message of Christ\u2019s love toward Muslims,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI also offer it to my monastic community at Mar Musa, which, since its foundation in 1982, has remained committed to \u2018holy hospitality,\u2019 welcoming all, and especially Muslims, in the name of Christ,\u201d he said. \u201cThe community regularly organizes meetings and symposia on theological, humanitarian and cultural dialogue, aimed at building bridges of understanding and reigniting the flame of faith among believers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archbishop Jacques Mourad, metropolitan of Homs in Syria, receives the St. John Paul II Award in the Vatican in recognition of his
