Nawal Al Zoghbi

Lebanese pop singer Nawal Al Zoghbi was born in Jbeil, Lebanon on June 29, 1972.
She began to perform as a singer at an early age, while the country was still ripped by the civil war. After a sojourn in the Gulf countries, she returned to Beirut and in 1992 she released her first album, Wehyati Andak. It was followed by Ayza El Rad in 1994, Bala'ieh Fi Zamani in 1995, Habeet Ya Lail in 1997, Mandam Alaik in 1998, Maloom in 1999, El-Layali ("My Nights") in 2000, Tool Omry in 2001, Elli Tmanitoh in 2002 and Einak Kaddabein in 2004.

Her songs usually include a blend of upbeat grooves, a penchant for Latino sound (salsa, in particular) and more traditional Arabic tunes. While the lyrics in her most recent hits usually involve poignant romanticism, unrequited love stories and a good lot of drama, Nawal Al Zoghbi has also taken a bold stance on some political issues during her career. Ya Watani ("O my nation"), for example, is a patriotic song dating from the days of the civil war, while Ya Omati ("O motherland") and Ya Qods ("O Jerusalem") tackle the Palestinian issue.

Nawal Al Zoghbi has obtained several awards, including Best Arabic singer (Egypt) in 2000, 2004 and 2005 and Best Lebanese singer in 2005.

Iohannes Paulus II, in memoriam

'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God' (Mt 5:9).
From this place, so disfigured by war, I wish to raise my heart and voice in prayer for peace in the Holy Land and in the whole world. Genuine peace is a gift from God. Our openness to that gift requires a conversion of heart and a conscience obedient to his Law. Mindful of the sad news of the conflicts and deaths which even today arrives from Gaza, my prayer becomes more intense.

God of infinite mercy and goodness, with grateful hearts we pray to you today in this land where Saint Paul once walked.To the nations he proclaimed the truth that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself (cf. 2 Cor 5:19). May your voice resound in the hearts of all men and women, as you call them to follow the path of reconciliation and peace, and to be merciful as you are merciful.

Lord, you speak words of peace to your people and to all who turn to you in their hearts (cf. Ps 85:9).
We pray to you for the peoples of the Middle East. Help them to break down the walls of hostility and division and to build together a world of justice and solidarity.

Lord, you create new heavens and a new earth (cf. Is 65:17).
To you we entrust the young people of these lands. In their hearts they aspire to a brighter future; strengthen their resolve to be men and women of peace, and heralds of new hope to their peoples.

Father, you make justice spring forth from the earth (cf. Is 45:8).
We pray for the civil leaders of this region that they may strive to satisfy their peoples’ rightful aspirations, and educate the young in the ways of justice and peace.
Inspire them to work generously for the common good, to respect the inalienable dignity of every person and the fundamental rights which have their origin in the image and likeness of the Creator impressed upon each and every human being.

In a special way we pray for the leaders of this noble land of Syria. Grant them wisdom, farsightedness and perseverance; may they never yield to discouragement in their challenging task of building the lasting peace for which their people yearn.

Heavenly Father, in this place which saw the conversion of the Apostle Paul, we pray for all who believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Guide their steps in truth and love. May they be one as you are one, with the Son and the Holy Spirit. May they bear witness to the peace which surpasses all understanding (cf. Phil 4:7) and to the light which triumphs over the darkness of hostility, sin and death.

Lord of heaven and earth, Creator of the one human family, we pray for the followers of all religions.
May they seek your will in prayer and purity of heart; may they adore you and worship your holy name. Lead them to find in you the strength to overcome fear and distrust, to grow in friendship and to live together in harmony.

Merciful Father, may all believers find the courage to forgive one another, so that the wounds of the past may be healed, and not be a pretext for further suffering in the present.
May this happen above all in the Holy Land, this land which you have blessed with so many signs of your Providence, and where you have revealed yourself as the God of Love.

To the Mother of Jesus, the ever blessed Virgin Mary, we entrust the men and women living in the land where Jesus once lived. Following her example, may they listen to the word of God, and have respect and compassion for others, especially those who differ from them.
May they be inspired to oneness of heart and mind, in working for a world that will be a true home for all its peoples!

Salam! Salam! Salam!
Amen!

(Prayer for Peace delivered by John Paul II at the Greek-Orthodox church in Quneitra, May 7, 2001)
