.- Cardinal Pedro Rubiano Sáenz, President of the Colombian Bishops Conference, is repeating the Colombian bishops’ call for a truce that will allow all Colombians to live Holy Week in an atmosphere of reflection. “I appeal to those who are on the fringes of the law. I ask respect for these days. They too all called by the Lord to be renewed in Him and to seek out the good of all Colombians,” the Cardinal said. He also recalled that “every day is holy and should be lived in peace, but Holy Week demands greater peacefulness and respect for life.”
