Commissariat of the Holy land in Canada
Good Friday Collection
April 2nd 2010
in support of the Holy Land
For the year 2010, we shall become pilgrims walking in the footsteps of Jesus just as Benedict XVI showed us in his apostolic journey in the Middle East from May 8th to 15th 2009. With him, we can make a difference, wherever we are and no matter our state of life, as Pilgrims of Peace, by bringing forward his efforts of peace, unity and dialogue.
The mission of the Commissariat of the Holy Land is to help the Christian communities of the Holy Land and is made possible with the generosity of all the Catholics in Canada. Each year your support sustains apostolic and social works and the upkeep of the Holy Sites. Nevertheless, the Church’s renewal is always a great challenge and so is the formation of future priests.
When we will celebrate the memory of the death of Jesus on April 2nd 2010, the words of Benedict XVI that were said at Calvary on May 15th 2009 sends out a message: "The Church of the Holy Land, which has so often experienced the dark mystery of Golgotha, must never cease to be an intrepid herald of the luminous message of hope which this empty tomb proclaims."
For us too, we can bring this message of hope and light to others! We can also be pilgrims of peace! Let us support those who live this challenge every day!
