Pope to visit ME as 'pilgrim of peace'
Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday that he is going to the Holy Land next week as a pilgrim of peace in a region marked by injustice, mistrust and fear.
Benedict's eight-day pilgrimage, which begins Friday, will take him to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories.
The pope told members of a charitable group in a speech at the Vatican that he was asking for prayers for all the peoples of the Holy Land.
