Brazilian Priests in the Holy Land.

A very special pilgrimage took place in recent days in the Holy Land. After three days in Rome to mark the end of the Year for Priests, 400 Brazilian priests came to the Land of Jesus as pilgrims. This is one of the most numerous pilgrimages of priests to come from the same country.

From the South American continent to Asia a great distance must be covered, with few things in your backpack, and a lot of enthusiasm, joy and prayer.

Father Robert is celebrating10 years of priesthood ... such a special way to commemorate this anniversary will forever change his ministry.
During the day, the larger group was divided into sub-groups of 50 priests with their guide to visit the various shrines and then rejoined all together for a Eucharistic celebration. The first Mass was celebrated together in Jerusalem at the Basilica of Gethsemane, the place of Jesus' agony ... a place full of meaning, especially for priests who were visiting the Holy Land for the first time.
P. Roberto - Diocese of Iguatu - Ceara (Brazil)
"For me it was a renewal for my vocation, and for my life ... to follow on in the Church asks of me every day. For me it is a joy to walk where Jesus walked, ... it means to call me to be another Christ, right where I live, in my parishes, in my diocese."
In Brazil, a country with 193 million inhabitants, there are 18,000 priests, just one for every 10 000 inhabitants. It is a small number for such enormous pastoral need, but the enthusiasm of these Brazilian priests shows a living Church, with strong missionary zeal.
