The Prayer of Jerusalem

For thousands of years people keep coming to Jerusalem. They come here in the hope of addressing themselves directly, without any mediator, to the highest possible authority. Whether they lift their eyes to the sky or bow their heads to the earth, whether they contemplate the fire or the ancient stones of the Western Wall, they say words. Words of prayer.

Now you will to hear something that may never happen. I simply pictured that for once all these people, of different nationalities, religions and denominations, when they pass through the gates of the old city wall will not separate immediately and, instead of going to their different places of worship, will come together in one place. They will assemble in order to say together a single joint prayer composed of words particularly cherished by the three main religions of this city: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Of course, each shall follow their own customs and traditions. But they will do it together. In the same place. And none shall disturb another.
