Jerusalem patriarch: Holy Thursday homily
April 02, 2015
Patriarch Fouad Twal, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, celebrated the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper at the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
After preaching about the love that Christ manifested on the night before his Passion, Patriarch Twal said:
There is no shortage of witnesses to this humiliated Love. In recent times, we have had the harrowing example of Iraqi and Syrian Christians who, one night, were forced to leave and take a journey not knowing where to go, with only the clothes they had on their backs, and an unshakeable faith in the hearts. These Arab Christians, disciples of Jesus, refused to deny Christ and for Him, gave up everything. They are true witnesses of our faith today. We go back to the roots of the first community, devoted to prayer, to the breaking of bread and the exercise of charity.
