Be A Voice
Mission Four Corners would like YOU to join their mission to spread the word to your community regarding the Christians in the Holy Land. The goal is to establish a lobbying foundation to strengthen the Christian presence in the Holy Land that has been in existence for more than 2,000 years. The Christian presence in the Holy Land is not only about maintaining and preserving the holy shrines related to Christianity, it is also about maintaining and preserving the local Christian Congregations and the Christian Communities located in in the Holy.
How to pray the Via Delarosa Rosary
The rosary is more like a chaplet than a rosary, the sections are divided into three beads. As you begin meditating on Christ's Passion start each Station with the prayer: "We adore You, O Christ, and we praise YOU, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world." Then on the three following beads, pray an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. Complete the Stations of the Cross with this closing prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, your passion and death is the sacrifice that unites earth and heaven and reconciles all people to you. May we who have faithfully reflected on these mysteries follow in your steps and so come to share your glory in heaven where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen."
Mission Four Corners aims to build awareness bridges among Christians from Holy Land and other Christians from all over the world. One of these awareness bridges is through a Scarfs Project. The Scarfs Project is presented by Christian women from the Holy Land through handmade printing blocks. These blocks depict from church mosaic designs and Christian symbols found in the Holy Land. Part of the revenues gained from the sale of these scarfs will be invested in continuing more research regarding Christians and Christianity in the Holy Land.
In addition to the sale of the scarfs, Olive Wood Via Dolorosa Rosaries handmade by women in the Holy Land will be sold.
The "Via Dolorosa" meaning “The Sorrowful Way”, is the traditional route in Jerusalem along which our Lord traveled during His Passion. It allows YOU to follow in the Footsteps of Christ during His Passion, even if you cannot physically go to the Holy Land. You can journey there spiritually by meditating on Christ's path to Calvary. The practice has been continued by Christian Pilgrims since the 300's. While the Stations of the Cross are a popular devotion to pray year round, the devotion often gets special attention during the season of Lent.

Lighting a Candle in the Holy Land
Part of our devotion in building awareness bridges among Christians from Holy Land and other Christians from all over the world is through “Lighting a Candle”. “A candle can be lit on behalf of yourself, family and others in need. These candles can be lit in any of the churches in the Holy Land by Christians from the Holy Land.”
Send us an email with the name of the person and the church you want the candle to be lit. This devotion is free of charge by the Christian families in the Holy Land.
