♰ In #Jerusalem, saying the Our Father/Lord’s Prayer in the original language of Jesus, #Aramaic ♰
It was a goal of mine to learn it so I could recite it in the place where Jesus taught it 🙏🏽

† One of the greatest experiences for a Christian: Praying in the empty tomb of Jesus in Jerusalem
† Hidden secret: Inside the tomb - which fits 3 people at a time - is a wooden icon on the left wall that opens to the original rock where people leave prayers
† Jesus is LORD

At the beginning of Holy Week, our prayers are more than ever with the Christians of the #MiddleEast, who are suffering the consequences of a brutal conflict and, in many cases, are unable to observe fully the liturgies of these holy days. Just as the Church contemplates the mystery of the Lord’s Passion, we cannot forget those who today are truly sharing in his suffering. Their ordeal challenges all our consciences. Let us raise our prayer to the Prince of Peace that he may sustain the peoples wounded by war and open concrete paths to reconciliation and #peace. #PrayTogether

The funeral of Father Pierre El-Rahi, Maronite parish priest of a Christian village, is celebrated today in #Lebanon, as these villages once again experience the tragedy of war. I am close to all the Lebanese people in this time of grave trial. Fr. Pierre was a true shepherd. As soon as he heard that parishioners had been wounded in a bombing, he rushed to help without hesitation. May the Lord grant that the blood he shed become a seed of peace for beloved Lebanon. #PrayTogether

We’re glad you felt safe and valued here. 🇦🇪

The holiest site in Christianity: Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, where Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected †
Built in 325 AD…but 2nd century Christian graffiti in the area is evidence worship was happening there even earlier. 🙏🏽
