“Let’s go back to our countries full of hope and joy, for we have seen the sacred places where Jesus was born, where He suffered and preached; for we met with these people who are Jesus’ cousins, who continue this journey in this Holy Land.”
At the end of their journey, the bishops attended the Eucharistic celebration at the Church of St. Catherine, in Bethlehem, where ecclesiastical authorities from the Holy Land and various religious communities were present.
