Pax Christi: Give gift of prayer for peaceful Bethlehem Christmas!
This Advent, we remember Bethlehem, where Christians have revered the place of the
Christ Child's birth for the last two thousand years. They are the so-called living
stones of the Church in the Holy Land. They are the men and women native to this
land who have faithfully carried on Christ’s mission and witness through conflict
and strife through so many ages.
In a sign of solidarity and encouragement
to our fellow Christians in the land of Jesus’ birth, the international Catholic peace
organization, Pax Christi, has organized a “prayer and good wishes” campaign to celebrate
Advent and Christmas with the Christian community in Bethlehem. Anyone can be a part
of it! All you need is a computer and the internet and you can give the gift of prayer
and hope to someone who needs it most…
Tracey McClure spoke to the Senior Policy
Advisor for the international Catholic peace organization Pax Christi, Fr. Paul Lansu
about the initiative, on its 11th year. He explains how you can send your
prayer of peace to the Holy Land's Christians!
