Turn to EWTN for a Catholic Perspective On the Pope’s May 24-26 Trip to the Holy Land
Irondale, AL – This Memorial
Day Weekend, join the EWTN Global Catholic Network as we travel to the Holy Land
with Pope Francis! The journey begins Saturday, May 24 and continues through
Monday, May 26.
“World Over Live” Host Raymond Arroyo will anchor the event with on-site
commentary by Fr. Peter Vasko; Rome Correspondent Alan Holdren will report from
the Holy Land for “EWTN News Nightly;” and EWTN Rome Bureau Chief Joan Lewis
will not only provide EWTN Global Catholic Radio with exclusive reports from the
Holy Land, but will also serve up some sure-to-be-memorable blogs with lots of
photos for viewers to share!
Watch EWTN via television, radio, live stream, or your mobile device (http://www.ewtn.com/everywhere/) so
you don’t miss a moment of the Pope’s historic pilgrimage!
The official motto of this Holy Land trip is “ut unum sint,” which is Latin
for “that they may be one.” It’s a fitting choice for a trip that falls on the
50th Anniversary of the famous meeting between Pope Paul VI &
Patriarch Athenagoras, then Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In
addition to meeting with current Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the papal
delegation will, for the first time, include a Jewish rabbi and a Muslim leader,
who have been personal friends of the Pope since his days as Cardinal of Buenos
Aires.
The Pope is also scheduled to pray with refugees and youth with
disabilities and to meet with religious leaders from the Jewish, Muslim and
Orthodox faiths as well as heads of state and ordinary citizens from Jordan,
Israel, and Palestine.
Expectations for this ecumenical trip are high and, if the past is
prologue, we can expect a great deal of news. Instead of getting the secular
media’s interpretation of events, watch it live on EWTN for a truly Catholic
perspective!
