Cristo Rei, April 11, 2025

Members of the FALINTIL-East Timor Defence Forces (F-FDTL), through the General Headquarters and the Military Police Unit, performed a Via Sacra at Cristo Rei Dili.

In an interview, the F-FDTL Chaplain, Captain Rui Filomeno Gomes, said that this journey is a journey of faith to reflect and that this journey is about the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.

“We carry out this reflection during Lent, and during Lent the F-FDTL also has the same opportunity to carry out retreats, there are also mass confessions. As Christians, we do this. We are all here, officers, sergeants, enlisted men and families, all believers who join us in the journey of faith of Christians around the world”. He also emphasized that the true meaning of this trip is that we walk practically together with the people of God, first to strengthen our faith that God gave us as a Catholic majority, on the other hand with our effort we also seek to affirm the faith of the people, we have to guarantee the defense and security of God in this holy time to get closer to the feast of Easter that we will celebrate next week”.

This activity is carried out here, from the General Headquarters, Light Aviation Component, Military Police Unit, including the FALINTIL Unit, and other components carry out according to their capacity and time in each component.
