The First Mass in Hebrew of Fr. Igino


On Saturday (June 24th), the first Holy Mass in Hebrew was held by a new priest, Fr. Igino. The Mass took place in Ein Kerem, at the Monastery of the Sisters of Zion.


Nadav reports:

Before the Mass, Fr. Piotr insisted on showing all those present the statue of Mary, claiming that "coming to the Sisters of Zion Monastery and not seeing the cave with Mary is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower."

There, Fr. Piotr explained about the Zion Sisters Monastery and the story of the Ratisbon brothers as well as the life story of the 102-year-old old nun of Jewish origin who still lives in the monastery and also attended mass with us!!

In his sermon, Fr. Igino shared his personal story of his childhood and young years and the way on which he finally realized that God loves him with a love that was independent of anything, and he returned to the bosom of the Church with such burning love that he chose to dedicate his whole life to it.

After the Mass Fr. Igino granted the special blessing that only the newly ordained priests can give.

At the end we held a joint and happy picnic of the Hebrew speaking communities.

We wish Father Igino that God will give him grace and the Holy Spirit will be with him wherever he will be.
