Mother Agnes Miriam reports from Syria

On June 8, 2012, Irish Radio interviewed a Melkite Catholic nun, Mother Agnes Miriam of the Cross, live from the Monastery of St. James at Qara in the Diocese of Homs, Syria.

Click here to listen to Mother Agnes Miriam's account of the current situation in Syria. The introduction is by Alan Lonergan who writes, "Please note that Mother warns of another possible expulsion of Christians from the neighbouring town and rebel stronghold of al Qusair. The Christians had been given six days by the rebels to leave the village. This amounts to the mass expulsion of thousands of residents; day 6 was today! ...[The] word needs to spread in order to help bring a stop to these actions."

You might find it preferable to download the MP3 file and save it to your computer first rather than listening to audio over the internet.
