On Monday 3rd January 2005, memorial of the Holy Name of Jesus, at 6.30 a.m. the Custos of the Holy Land, Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, presided over the Solemn Profession of Brother Félix Apaza Guanto, from the Missionary Franciscan Province of “San Antonio” in Bolivia. The profession celebration took place within the context of the community Mass in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, the place of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. During the homily the Father Custos spoke about the link between the Scripture readings, the liturgical time of Christmas and the place where the celebration was taking place. God-with-us, who was born in Bethlehem, is the same Jesus Christ who rose from the dead in the place where we met to celebrate the Eucharist. It is the same Jesus who calls us to follow him. The candidate for profession has answered to this call, and will continue answering yes during all moments of darkness and uncertainty, in order to continue walking in the light and power of the Resurrection.
