Rome 2007 Photo Gallery Visit to the Western Wall, Jerusalem- March 16, 2000 Pope John Paul went to the Western Wall, the last remnant of the Jerusalem Temple. There, like so many humble Jews before him, he placed a prayer of petition to the God of Israel in a crack between the stones; this prayer reiterated the prayer from the year 2000 liturgy of repentance. The pope's prayer affirmed in the strongest way possible that anti-Semitism has no place in the church. The prayer acknowledged the legitimacy of Jewish faith and the church's debt to Judaism for having given the world the revelation of God: "God of our fathers, you chose Abraham and his descendants to bring your name to the nations: We are deeply saddened by the behavior of those who in the course of history have caused these children of yours to suffer, and, asking your forgiveness, we wish to commit ourselves to genuine brotherhood with the people of the covenant."
