Good Friday Pontifical Collection for the Holy Land March 29, 2013 In the Year of the Faith (2012-2013) we go back in time and place where our ecclesial faith was born and was gradually built. As the early Church and Christians of the Holy Land to-day, we know who has known and loved us: Christ among us, hope for glory. (Col 1, 27) The Church of the Holy Land continues to be a witness of hope that challenges and supports us. This Church needs our hope and our solidarity. A prayer, a gesture and generosity can change loyalties. Our gestures of solidarity support the life of the Christian communities, the facilitation of social and chari-table works and the maintenance of the Holy Sites. They en-sure the training of priests for the present and the future. The hope is shared and thus is transmitted. You just need the heart of a child of God to take in hand the light that passes through time and illuminates our path. A moment of wonder, attention to others and practical support are means always at our disposal to keep intact the memory of Jesus Christ, Hope of the Holy Sites and Christians of the Holy Land.
