Message from the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land
Reverend Parish priests,
Religious men and women,
Dear faithful lay people,
Peace and blessing from God our Lord.
The Holy Father, Benedict XVI, has asked to all the Catholic Churches spread all over the world to consecrate one full year, from 28th of June 2008 to June 2009, to Saint Paul the apostle of the nations, to meditate his life and teaching.
All of us, we know that Saint Paul has lived, has studied and has learned to love the Word of God here in our Holy Land. In Jerusalem he has been brought to the civil courts and has met with the opposition of the religious chiefs of his time for he proclaimed his faith in Jesus, Christ and Lord, who died for the salvation of humanity and he rise victorious of the death and the sin. |
