ANNUAL COLLECTION FOR HOLY LAND PLANNED

VATICAN CITY, MARCH 2, 2004 (Zenit.org).- The Vatican has invited all dioceses worldwide to again take up a collection for the Holy Land this forthcoming Good Friday.

Cardinal Ignace Moussa I Daoud, prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches, refers in an appeal letter to "the present dramatic situation" in the region that "requires us to give even greater attention to this Church also in material terms."

"The Christians in the Holy Land are in a particular way prone to feel isolated and abandoned," states the letter, published at the Vatican's Web page.

"That is why they need to experience the evangelical charity, which binds us all together in Christ, and the support of the whole Church, which connects us more closely to our Christian roots," the cardinal's letter says.

The Vatican congregation coordinates this support of the universal Church and to make it effective and fair.

By explicit will of the popes, since 1618, the Church dedicates Good Friday to prayer and almsgiving on behalf of the Catholic community in the Holy Land.

O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
