" "We all remember the journey towards the Great Jubilee of 2000, dedicated to the fundamental stages of the history of salvation and the Trinitarian mystery, with the Year of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and then that pilgrimage to Iraq in the footsteps of Abraham, which was the first of all those that would follow later. We recall that among the pilgrimages linked to the Jubilee event there were also those linked to the figure of the Apostle Paul, which took John Paul II to Syria and also to Greece and Malta. However, his having to give up the journey to Iraq was certainly something that caused him great suffering. However, deep down we can say that his acceptance of that cancellation was already an interior pilgrimage. At Ur, in Iraq, Abraham was called to leave his land and his certainties, and was even asked to be willing to sacrifice his son for the covenant with the Lord. Saint John Paul II, who so wanted to visit that land, lived deep down Abraham’s same feelings in giving up this pilgrimage and in the sacrifice of having to accept that situation.

Additional quotes by Leonardo Sandri
We have no words. We don't have missiles, we don't have guns, we don't have tanks, we don't have the force of violence that wants to impose itself at any price. We have the strength of humility of those who receive the contempt of the world and of the powerful of the earth. Our only weapon - in the face of so much shame for humanity and so much suffering is what we have done today: to pray.
Interviewer: What is involved in assisting the local realities of the Churches outside of the places in which they originated? Cardinal Sandri: It is a feature of the care for the Oriental Churches expressed by the Popes who, however, no longer exercized the role as Prefect of the Congregation, continue to exercise their special care for the Eastern faithful through the Dicastery. The very fact that in predominantly Latin territories - as for example in Europe and the United States - Popes have chosen to institute eparchies or exarchates for the care of the Eastern Catholic faithful speaks of the importance and profound respect for their identity and tradition. Where they go in the world creating structured communities of a certain size, the Apostolic See recognizes the possibility of continuing to govern themselves according to their own tradition, their liturgical, disciplinary, spiritual distinctiveness, providing for the appointment of Bishops and the foundation of eparchies and provinces so that they can continue to live their belonging to the Lord in the Catholic Church through that unique expression of their Church of origin.
Cardinale Sandri: A un certo punto Giovanni Paolo II non riusciva più a parlare perché aveva dovuto subire una tracheotomia. Avevano chiamato un fonologo perché il Pontefice si esercitasse, come dovesse imparare di nuovo ad usare la voce e articolare le parole. Giornalista: È rimasta nella memoria collettiva l’immagine di Giovanni Paolo II che cercava di parlare all’Angelus, il 30 marzo 2005, e non ci riusciva... Cardinale Sandri: Aveva fatto gli esercizi, provato il testo, e quando si è affacciato alla finestra, forse anche per l’emozione, la voce non gli usciva, e questo lo faceva soffrire. Ma tutto questo era in fin dei conti la conseguenza del Parkinson, una malattia degenerativa che aveva finito col rendergli sempre più difficile parlare e non poteva che peggiorare.
