I shall check the EWTN web site at once and ascertain when (or if) this program will be available in Ireland. I seriously hope that it will be; the West needs to be thoroughly informed about the suffering of our brothers in Christ who are maintaining the Church in her historic lands.

Fr. Serge you should be able to get it online. I know for lots of folks that the only way they get it, streaming something or the other, but it works.

It shows here that the broadcast times [ ewtn.com] for "Europe English All Times London and Dublin" is slated for 1/25 at 9:00, 1/29 at 3:00 and again at 15:00 and 1/30 at 19:00. Note that London and Dublin times are the column on the left closest to the program description. "ROME & BERLIN" times are listed further to the left. Scroll way down to see the listing for "IRAQ'S CHRISTIAN REFUGEES". Note at the bottom of the page 2/1 5 and 6 "Sudan - you do not cry with us", also one hour. Thanks be to God for Aid to the Church for their ongoing efforts to spread word of these struggles of our brothers and sisters living in such grave circumstances. I think most EWTN viewers have no idea of the lives of Christians in these communities. It's a perhaps small but very important chance to get the word out to all of us.

I just remembered that in the course of the program, I think in Jordan, several times the camera caught briefly a large banner of the Virgen de Guadalupe on the wall (NOT in a church). I found it a profound linking with we here in the US. The Mother of God is not Latin or Byzantine. We magnify thee!

I watched this and it was very hard to watch. The faith of these people is something we should all strive for. Why do we hear so little about their plight in our churches? Many of our small parishes would be greatly blessed if they welcomed these Faithful into them. Sponsorship might be something our Bishops should look into.
