Pilgrimage

42 degrees! The pilgrims are still putting up a brave fight to visit the Holy Places despite the heat! We actually got to visit all the places we planned as well as a couple of bonuses - including walking down the Mt. of Beatitudes. It was a great expereince and no one regretted coming along.

Mt. Tabor was quite an expereince too. Many of the pilgrims became very involved with the Transfiguration text of St. Mark. They prayed , meditated and worshipped. It changed several lives .... literally.

Capharnaum, Korazim, Bethsaida, Geresa .... we visited them all, reading the relevant passages from the Gospel. It's good to see how each place spoke to different people, enlightening each one according to each person's stage in life and needs. This truly is the 5th Gospel - the Holyland! You guys should try and come at least once!

All good things must come to an end, so the pilgrims today will return to HK. But hopefully it's just a start to a new pilgrimage - the one that leads to heaven!
