Nebo

Here, on the heights of Mount Nebo, the memory of Moses invites us to “lift up our eyes” to embrace with gratitude not only God’s mighty works in the past, but also to look with faith and hope to the future which he holds out to us and to our world.  Like Moses, we too have been called by name, invited to undertake a daily exodus from sin and slavery towards life and freedom, and given an unshakeable promise to guide our journey.

Pope Benedict's words yesterday from Mount Nebo began his pilgrimage through the Holy Land.  As he continues his journey from Jordan to Jerusalem tomorrow, you can get all the latest content here.  There you also have the option of reading Benedict in Arabic, which you may find quite helpful.
