For those who do not have video access to the live feed, seated in the front row is Sheikh Ahmad Badreddine Hassoun, from Syria. When he learned about this prayer service, he was moved.

I found it very interesting that he knelt before the Blessed Sacrament.
Surprising.
Perhaps insincere.
But a very dangerous (for him) gesture, regardless of the motivation (the “rebels” would not care for that at all)

If the Sheikh is a Sunni, you’d think he would be pro-US bombing as Assad is the other side? Interesting.

Interesting. I’m sure there’s more -— a lot more -— to this story.
