Young Christians from Iraq will observe a day of prayers, songs and sacramental celebrations before leaving for Krakow, on July 19.
Bishop Basel Yaldo said, “Celebrating the practice, with which the Church relives the Passion of Christ, we will also look at the suffering of our country in the light of the suffering of Jesus.
In those days Iraqi boys and girls will exchange the story of their experiences with young people from all over the world.”
“And on our return, we will convene a national meeting where young people who were in Krakow will tell all their experience. So we can see for ourselves that one can live Christian hope and joyful communion with the whole Church, despite the difficult conditions we live in.”
“So we will realize that there is no need to flee, emigrate, and that it is nice to live the gift of Christian joy in the places where we were born, and where we met Jesus, listening to the proclamation of the Gospel.”
