More than 8,000 young Catholics from the United States prayed together Tuesday on the Mount of the Beatitudes, where Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount.
Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, led the American Catholics in prayer on July 19 during a vocational meeting organized by the Neocatechumenal Way, a movement in the Church that provides an itinerary of Catholic formation.
As part of the vocational meeting, the young people are participating in a multi-day pilgrimage exploring the historic sites of the Holy Land.
