Cardinal Pizzaballa has led his flock hopefully and unflinchingly through the horrors of war, offering his own life during the hostage situation of October 7, 2023, and calling constantly for an end to hostilities. Through years of darkness, he has spurred the persecuted Christians of the Holy Land to \"a vibrant testimony of faith and belonging\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImbued with the spirit of Saint Francis, this beautiful work includes many talks from Pizzaballa's years as Custos and Apostolic Administrator of Jerusalem, as well as a robust appendix of material from his time as patriarch. \"As the Apostle Paul spoke about the breadth and length and height and depth of God's love (Eph 3:18),\" explains scholar Jeff Cavins, \"so Cardinal Pizzaballa speaks of the breadth and length and height and depth of the Holy Land.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Jerusalem--the heart of all nations--teaches us is that when the Word becomes flesh, He truly enters human history, in all its complexity and brutality. With a prayerful yet realistic gaze, His Eminence searches the mysteries that wrap the land where Jesus walked, bringing it to life before our eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs there hope for peace in Jerusalem, indeed, the world? Yes--through Christ alone. \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of All Nations\u003c\/i\u003e calls Christians not only to experience Jesus' radical peace in their hearts, but to bear it courageously into a turbulent age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePierbattista Cardinal Pizzaballa\u003c\/b\u003e is an Italian member of the Order of Friars Minor and a biblical scholar, with degrees from the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome, the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
