For many of us this pilgrimage has been a time of transformation, and its quite amazing to know that we have begun our second week of this pilgrimage. On that note, today it was a quite interesting day, we began our day with morning prayer and Mass. Furthermore, our schedule today included a trip to Neot Kedumim which mean "Pastures of Old”. A biblical Landscape Reserve in Israel were one of the opportunities we had was to lead sheep. At one point on our walk, I decided to take an old road surrounded by the nature, the beautiful green landscape. I thought that the view from that road of the quiet landscape was a view shared by the early Christians as well as countless pilgrims to Jerusalem throughout the centuries before the great urban sprawl. The peaceful silence of that walk served as a prayerful preparation for my pilgrimage in Jerusalem.
Being a person who likes falling into habits (hopefully good ones!), it has been good to be able to establish my own little habits, within the plan of life that the pilgrimage provides for us. This development of good habits (i.e. virtues) A good “Plan of Life” will help us live balanced lives.
