As the Church prepares to celebrate Easter the Franciscan Custody of Holy Land urges Christians worldwide to contribute generously to the annual Good Friday Collection to help give hope to Christian communities in the war-ravaged region.
Its proceeds support the mission of the Custody of the Holy Land, which operates across several countries, including Israel, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Cyprus, but also countries where Eastern Christian communities are present, such as Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey. “The experience of this past year has been truly difficult for all of us “ said the Franciscan Friar. War has not only devastated cities but has deeply affected families who have lost their jobs, children, and many young couples who have been forced to postpone their dream of starting a family.
Hence his urgent appeal to help sow peace and “give hope” to Cristians in the Holy Land which, he remarked, is the underpinning theme of the Jubilee Year. “Today more than ever,” the Custody explained, “the battered populations of the Holy Land, the few remaining Christians, religious communities, young people and children—the future of these communities—as well as the sick and elderly, need concrete and immediate help, even just to ‘hold the line,’ coping with the damage caused by the war.
