While the earth is a holy creation of God, Bethlehem and the surrounding lands that Jesus walked upon, miraculously acted upon, suffered and died upon, and gloriously resurrected upon is uniquely holy, and thus deserving the title Holy Land, the Independent Catholic News website reports today (Dec. 18, 2022).
In the Holy Land, the Prince of Peace taught humanity the way to true peace.
In word and deed, Jesus showed the world that love, especially to love as He loved to the full, with justice, merciful forgiveness, solidarity, compassion, special care for the poor and vulnerable, nonviolence and complete trust in God -- not trusting in material wealth and military might -- are the necessary steps we must take if we truly desire to walk the path of peace.
