Francis on Sunday announced he will travel to Amman, Bethlehem and Jerusalem on May 24-26.
Twal said that during his stay in Jordan, Francis would dine with Syrian refugees, poor and handicapped people in the same spot where Jesus Christ is believed to have been baptised on the banks of the River Jordan.
In Bethlehem, he would celebrate a mass and have a meal with local families. In Jerusalem, Twal said the pope would likely visit the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) and possibly the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum.
