The 2012 Holy Land Pilgrimage is over now - it has been almost 4 weeks since our return. Life has returned to normal - with jobs - commitments - back to the old routine. But we are a changed people - we will never be able to put into words exactly what happened to each and every one of us. We experienced the same and yet different things - in the exact same place. We felt the hand of God on us - we saw Jesus in the eyes - the doorways to our hearts - in each other - we laughed - we cried - we sat in awesome wonder of the space that we shared with the people of Israel. We talked with each other and locals - we ate their food and drank their wine - we walked in the footsteps of Our Lord and Savior - and already we long to repeat the experience.

Our God is an Awesome God! He provides for us and call us to discipleship. Just as the original twelve disciples - the 36 pilgrims - all of us - are called to spread the Gospel of Jesus to everyone we meet.
