In the midst of traveling to the Holy sites, we still manage to have a typical school day with classes. We begin the day with Morning Prayer and the Eucharist, the moments where we are united, in a special way, to the entire Church and are nourished by the Lord himself. We have classes: Spiritual Direction and Ecumenism. In addition to these classes, we also have time to read and connect the various scripture passages with the places we visit and experience.
Even though being on pilgrimage means some of our time is traveling and visiting the Holy sites, we also, and should, have time for contemplation and reflection, seeing God’s presence and hand in all our experiences. This aspect is what makes us pilgrims. We reflect and contemplate on our relationship with Christ, and this is what gives us the identity of pilgrims.
It is necessary to allow God to reveal himself to us during this time of experience and pilgrimage, and this aspect is crucial in our growth of a deeper relationship and union with The Lord. This is the reason we are here, to allow the Lord to touch our lives and transform us into his instruments for His people.
